Abstract:
An advanced stopped-in-loop flow analysis (SILFA) is proposed for the catalytic determinations of vanadium and iron. The chemistry relies on a vanadium- or iron-catalyzed oxidative reaction of p-anisidine by bromate or hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an activator (Tiron or 1,10-phenanthlorine) to form a red dye (510 nm). Reagents for the vanadium- or iron-catalyzed reaction are well mixed by a reagents-merging zones technique. A sample solution is loaded together with well-mixed reagents into a loop in the SILFA configuration, followed by spectrophotometric detection. The advanced SILFA system provides a selective method for the trace determination of vanadium and iron.

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...
