Title: Determination of the sum of rare-earth elements by flow-injection analysis with Arsenazo III, 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol, Chrome Azurol S and 5-bromo-2-(2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol spectrophotometric reagents. Author: Gladilovich DB, Kubán V, Sommer L. Journal: Talanta; 1988 Apr; 35(4):259-65. PubMed ID: 18964509. Abstract: The reactivity of Arsenazo III, Chrome Azurol S in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium or cetylpyridinium bromide, 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol and 5-bromo-2-(2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol with various rare-earth elements (REE) has been studied and the optimum conditions have been established for the spectrophotometric determination of REE with stationary and flow systems. Arsenazo III is the most suitable for the determination of the sum of REE, especially La, Ce, Nd, by FIA with spectrophotometric detection at 660 nm, in systems containing 0.04 mM reagent and 0.2M formate buffer (pH 3) and for sample volumes of 30 mul. The detection limits are 10.8 ng La, 11.0 ng Ce and 9.4 ng Nd in 30 mul. Limited amounts of Fe(III) and Al(III) are screened with 10 mM ascorbic and 5-sulphosalicylic acids. The sum of the REE is obtained from calibration plots prepared with La(III) standard solutions. The method has been successfully used for apatites and REE oxide concentrates after various kinds of decomposition.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
