  • Title: Photoinitiated gold sol generation in aqueous Triton X-100 and its analytical application for spectrophotometric determination of gold.
    Author: Pal A.
    Journal: Talanta; 1998 Aug; 46(4):583-7. PubMed ID: 18967180.
    Abstract:
    Gold complex, HAuCl(4) has been transformed into pink-coloured stable gold sol having lambda(max) at 523 nm (in=3.06x10(3)1.mol(-1)cm(-1)) at room temperature in aqueous Triton X-100 (TX-100) upon photoirradiation. It is a very rapid and simple process and the absorbance at 523 nm is a direct measure of gold concentration. Beer's law is obeyed in the range of 0-150 ppm of gold. The relative standard deviation for 22.7 and 90.9 ppm of gold are 2.8 and 2.5% respectively. The 95% confidence limit (ten determinations) for 22.7 ppm of gold is 23.6+/-0.5 ppm. Sandell sensitivity is 6.44x10(-2) mug cm(-2). TX-100 acts both as a reducing agent and a stabilizer here. Statistical parameters, effects of TX-100 concentration, irradiation time and interferents are studied. The method is applicable for ore and synthetic mixture analysis.
