Abstract
Abstract A method is presented for the highly sensitive, selective, and rapid determination of vanadium (V) at sub-microgram levels in rocks, animal tissues, plant tissues and natural waters. The method is based on the selective extraction of vanadium (V) from strongly acidic (3-8 M hydrochloric acid) medium with solution of N-p-methoxyphenyl-2-furylacrylohydroxamic acid (MFHA) in chloroform. The reddish-violet extract (molar absorbance 8.6x103 1 mole−1 cm−1 at λ max 545 nm) is then equilibrated with 3-(o-carboxyphenyl)-1-phenyltriazine-N-oxide (CPPTNO) at pH = 1.5. The resulting ternary complex has enhanced colour (molar absorbance 1.4 × 104 1 mole−1 cm−1 at Λ max 450 nm). The ternary system obeys Beer's Law at 450 nm over the range 0-18 μ g/ml of vanadium. The extraction system achieves 20-fold enrichment of vanadium and enables the determination of the metal down to parts per billion (ng 1−1) levels. The method tolerates the presence of a large number of anions and cations which are normally present wi...
