Abstract
A simple, rapid, highly sensitive and selective method for the spectrophotometric determination of micro amounts of thorium(IV) has been worked out using 6-chloro-3-hydroxy-2-(2′-furyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (CHFC) as a complexing agents in a acidified (CH3COOH, pH 3.5) medium. The yellow complex shows a maximum absorbance at 425-435 nm. The method obeys Beer′s law upto 3.5 μg Th cm-2. As many as 31 cations and 11 anions and/or complexing agents do not interfere. The method has good reproducibility and can be satis-factorily applied to the determination of thorium in samples corresponding to Australian monazite in composition.
