  • Title: Rapid spectrophotometric determination of chromium(III).
    Author: Zhao Y, Han G.
    Journal: Talanta; 1994 Aug; 41(8):1247-50. PubMed ID: 18966063.
    Abstract:
    A spectrophotometric procedure is suggested for the determination of Cr(III). The reaction between Cr(III) and 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-dimethylaminophenol is accelerated by sodium dodecyl sulphate(SDS), sodium benzoate causes a further increase in the absorbance of the chelate. The optimum pH range for the reaction is 5-5.8(benzoate buffer). The chelate exhibits maximum absorbance at 590 nm, obeys Beer's law over the concentration range 0.02-0.56 microg/ml of Cr(III), has molar absorptivity of 7.8 x 10(4) 1. mol(-1) cm(-1) and a Sandell sensitivity of 0.66 ng/cm. The metal to ligand ratio is 1:2 in the absence of SDS and 1:1 in its presence. A procedure for the determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI), when present together, is described. The method has been applied to the analysis of Cr(III) in tap water.
