Multicomponent Internal Standard Methods for Determination of Vanadium, Chromium, Nickel, and Copper in Tool Steel Samples in Continuum-light-source Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

This paper suggests an improved method for the sample preparation to quantify vanadium, chromium, nickel and copper in tool steel and high-speed steel by using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The suggested method prepared two specimen solutions containing different internal standard elements: one included nickel for the quantifications of vanadium or copper and cobalt for the quantification of chromium and another included cobalt and phosphoric acid for the quantification of nickel, after the sample was digested with an acid mixture of hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid by using a microwave oven. A multi-wavelength high-resolution spectrometer system was employed to be simultaneously measured absorption lines for several pairs of an analyte and an internal standard element, such as vanadium and nickel, chromium and cobalt, nickel and iron, cobalt and phosphorus oxide, and copper and nickel. The internal standards contributed to more accurate and precise quantification of vanadium, chromium, nickel, and copper in tool steel and high-speed steel samples.

A new portable switchable hydrophilicity microextraction method for determination of vanadium in microsampling micropipette tip syringe system couple with ETAAS

First time we launch an innovative and simple portable in a closed micropipette tip switchable hydrophilicity microextraction syringe system (µS-SHS) couple with electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy (ETAAS) was developed for preconcentration and determination of vanadium using 2-(5-Bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5- Br-PADAP), as complexing. In the proposed method decanoic acid was used as a switchable hydrophilicity extraction solvent and their polarity was switched on and off (water miscible/immiscible) by simply changing their pH. The phase separation was induced by simply adding sulfuric acid that switch off hydrophilicity (nondispersed/immiscible) of decanoic acid. The metal complex enriched phase (V-(5-Br-PADAP-SHS) was separated by simply removing the aqueous phase through manually dispensed syringe system. Then finally acidic ethanol drawn into the syringe contains metal complex enriched SHS phase to reduce viscosity and directly injected into the ETAAS by using an enclosed micropipette tip syringe system. The multivariate strategy was applied to screen out and optimized the variables. Limit of detection (LOD), enhancement factor (EF) and relative standard deviation (RSD) were found 0.0075 µg L−1, 120 and 2.91%, respectively. Certified reference material of riverine water (SLRS-4), Apple leaves (NIST SRM 1515) and a standard addition method was used to validate the present method. Developed method was applied to water and food samples. We successfully applied the proposed method to analyze vanadium in different real food and water samples.

Catalytic and kinetic spectrophotometric method for determination of vanadium(V) by 2,3,4-trihydroxyacetophenonephenylhydrazone

A new catalytic and kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of vanadium(V) was studied using 2,3,4-trihydroxyacetophenonephenylhydrazone (THAPPH) as an analytical reagent. The present method was developed on the catalytic effect of vanadium on oxidation of THAPPH by hydrogen peroxide in hydrochloric acid–potassium chloride buffer (pH=2.8) at the 20th minute.

In the present work, sensitive and simple methods for determination of vanadium (V) by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) and for determination of chromium (VI) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) after selective preconcentration by solid phase extraction (SPE) on a Chromabond® NH2 column have been developed. The first procedure for the preconcentration of vanadium (V) is based on the adsorption of vanadium (V) as chelate with Alizarin Red S on the sorbent at pH 5.5. The second procedure was utilised for preconcentration of chromium (VI) and also for speciation of chromium (III) and chromium (VI) using the same column at pH 5.5 without chelating agent. The influence of various experimental variables affecting the recovery of SPE procedure, i.e. pH of the sample solution, concentration of chelating agent as well as volume and concentration of elution solution, were investigated. Under the optimised experimental conditions, the detection limits (calculated as three times the standard deviation (SD) of the blank signal, divided by the slope of the calibration graph) for vanadium (V) and chromium (VI) were 0.11 and 11.7 µg L−1, respectively. The developed methods were applied successfully to the determination of vanadium (V) and chromium (VI) in different water samples.

Investigations on the Formation of Copper Polyvanadates as a Function of pH

The formation and composition of copper vanadates obtained by the interaction of copper sulfate with different sodium vanadates (ortho, pyro, meta and poly) have been studied by means of electrometric techniques involving glass electrode and conductometric titrations between the reactants at several concentrations in aqueous and aqueous-ethanolic media. The well defined inflections and breaks in the titration curves provide cogent evidence for the formation and precipitation of copper ortho-3CuO.V2O5, pyro-2CuO.V2O5 and meta-CuO.V2O5 vanadates in the vicinity of pH 8.1, 7.4 and 6.2, respectively.

Vanadium levels in French and Californian wines: Influence on vanadium dietary intake

An accurate and reproducible method for direct determination of vanadium (V) in wine using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) is described. This method gave results insignificantly different from those obtained using dry mineralization of wine samples, with a detection limit of 42 pg. A total of 68 wine samples from different regions of France and California were analysed vanadium levels ranged from 7.0 to 90.0 01μg/l in red and from 6.6 to 43.9 μg/l in white wines.

The contribution of wine consumption to daily vanadium dietary intake of the French population was estimated to be 11 μg/day per individual.

Kinetic Spectrophotometric Determination of Vanadium by Catalytic Effect on the Indigo Carmine-Bromate Reaction

A sensitive kinetic method for determination of vanadium is reported at pH 2 and 25 °C. The catalytic effect of vanadium on the oxidation of indigo carmine by bromate goes through an induction period and then decreases in absorbance at 612 nm, which is the maximum absorption wavelength of indigo carmine. Both the induction period and slope methods were applied for determination of vanadium. Concentration ranges of 0.3-30 (μg.mL−1) of vanadium were determined. The limit of detection was found to be 0.27 (μg.mL−1). Six replicate analysis of a sample solution containing 10 μg.mL−1 vanadium gave a relative standard deviation of 1.3%. The interference effects of various cations and anions on vanadium determination is reported, and the interference of ions are eliminated by a simple procedure. Application of the method to real samples such as crude petroleum are performed which gave acceptable results.

Kinetic thermometric determination of vanadium in atmospheric aerosols based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation of tannic acid by bromate ion

The catalytic effect of vanadium(V) on the oxidation of tannic acid by bromate ion was studied in order to develop a simple method for determination of vanadium(V). By using the initial rate method and monitoring the reaction thermometrically, vanadium can be determined at the typical levels found in atmospheric aerosols (5–50 ppb) with a relative standard deviation of 6.3%. The sensitivity of the determination is enhanced by the presence of citric or tartaric acid. The proposed method is subject to interference only by iron in concentrations over 75 times that of vanadium, which is rarely the case with atmospheric aerosols. The results obtained are compared with those provided by the two most frequently used techniques for vanadium determination in atmospheric aerosols, viz. ICP-AES and graphite furnace AAS.

Selective method for the spectrophotometric determination of vanadium in the presence of other refractory elements with 2,2′-iminodibenzoic acid

A selective method for the spectrophotometric determination of V in the presence of other refractory elements is proposed. It is based on the re-examination of its redox reaction with 2,2′-iminodibenzoic acid in H2SO4 medium (11.1–11.4 mol l–1) in the presence of H3PO4. Up to 1 mg of TiIV, ZrIV, NbV, MoVI and WVI do not interfere. V should be pre-oxidized in H2SO4 medium (⩽6.5 mol l–1) at room temperature with a 0.1% m/v solution of potassium permanganate, the excess of which is removed by adding successively 1 ml of a 10% m/v solution of urea and a few drops of a 0.1% solution of sodium nitrite. The molar absorptivity of this system was found to be 1.2 × 104 l mol–1 cm–1 at 610 nm. The Lambert–Beer law is obeyed over the concentration range 0.4–2.0 µg ml–1 of V with the linear regression equation A= 0.0188C–0.0229 (C=µg of V per 25 ml) and correlation coefficient r= 0.9990. The standard deviation (n= 10) and relative standard deviation at the level of 20 µg of V were found to be 0.88 µg and 4.4%, respectively. The versatility of the proposed method was demonstrated by incorporation of the preconcentration of V with N-benzoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine as precipitant and MoVI as carrier.
