Abstract

A new procedure for the substoichiometric extraction of bivalent manganese by thenoyltrifluoroacetone into ethyl acetate has been developed and used in activation analysis. The value of the extraction constant has been found to be 3.1 × 10 −6; the pH range in which the extraction can be performed is 7.8–9.2. The influence of oxalate, citrate, tartrate, fluoride and cyanide ions has been studied. A selective substoichiometric extraction of manganese in the presence of Zr, Hf, Nb, Th, Fe and Sc is possible at pH 8–8.5, tartrate and fluoride being used as masking agents. Copper and cobalt can be screened by ammonia and cyanide respectively. The method has been used for the determination of manganese in biological materials, potassium fluoride and zirconium.
