Extraction-spectrophotometric determination of vanadium with 3,5-dinitrocatechol and Brilliant Green
1Department of Analytical Chemistry, Technical University, Warsaw, Poland.
Abstract:
The formation and extraction of the ion-associates of the vanadium(V)-3,5-dinitrocatechol (DNC) anionic chelate complex with various basic dyes have been studied and a new sensitive extraction-spectrophotometric method for the determination of vanadium based on the system V(V)-DNC-Brilliant Green has been developed. Beer's law is obeyed up to a vanadium concentration of 0.3 mug/ml and the molar absorptivity is 1.7 x 1O(5) l.mole(-1). cm(-1) at 630 nm. The molar ratios of the components and the form of the vanadium(V) cation in the extracted compound have been determined, and the formula [VO(OH)(DNC)(2-)(2)][BG(+)](2) is proposed. Titanium, molybdenum, tungsten, EDTA and thiocyanate interfere seriously. The method becomes specific after a preliminary separation of vanadium by its extraction as the BPHA complex from H(2)SO(4)-HF medium, and is 40 times more sensitive than the spectrophotometric BPHA method. The proposed method has been applied to determination of traces of vanadium (about 10(-5)%) in alums.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...

EDTA: Direct, Back-, and Displacement Titration
Direct titration involves buffering the metal ion solution to the desired pH and directly titrating with standard EDTA until the endpoint. The optimum pH ensures a large conditional formation constant of metal−EDTA and visibility of the free indicator color in the solution. In addition, auxiliary complexing reagents are used to prevent the precipitation of metal hydroxides and...
