Abstract:
A method for the extraction-spectrophotometric determination of palladium with 2,2'-dithiodianilline (DTDA) is described. DTDA-Pd(II) complex is extracted from an aqueous solution with pH 3 into isobutyl methyl ketone (IBMK) layer. The absorbance is measured at 397 nm and the molar absorptivity found to be 1.47x10(6) l mol(-1) cm(-1). The complex system conforms to Beer's law over the range 0.3-220 ng ml(-1) palladium (II). The effect of pH (1-6), NaClO(4) concentration, DTDA concentration and shaking time were studied. The ratio of the metal ion to ligand molecules in the complex and its stability constant were found to be 1:1 and 1.45x10(6), respectively. The tolerance limit for many cations and anions have been determined. Finally the method has been applied successfully to the determination of palladium in synthetic mixtures, alloy and catalyst samples.

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...
