RESUMO
5,5-Dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (dimedone) reacts in acid aqueous solution with selenium(IV) to give a benzoxaselenol which has an absorption maximum at 313 nm with a molar absorptivity of 4.00 x 10(3) l.mole(-1).cm(-1). The compound is extractable into chloroform, to give a solution with an absorption maximum at 300 nm with a molar absorptivity of 3.77 x 10(3) l.mole(-1).cm(-1). The calibration graph is linear up to 30 ppm selenium, with a detection limit of 0.1 ppm in the final solutions. Of the various other ions tested, only iron(III) interferes at all concentrations but the addition of 1000 ppm fluoride will mask 50 ppm Fe(3+). The method has good reproducibility, with a relative standard deviation of 1.0% for pure solutions. The method has been applied to the analysis of fire-refined copper.
RESUMO
4,5,6-Triaminopyrimidine reacts in acidic aqueous media with selenium (IV) to give a piazselenol which has an absorption maximum at 362 nm with a molar absorptivity of 1.72 x 10(4) 1.mole(-1).cm(-1). The compound is stable but not extractable into non-polar solvents. The calibration graph is linear up to 10 ppm of selenium, with a detection limit of 0.1 ppm in the sample solutions. Of the many different ions tested only iron (III) (in the presence of chloride) and tin (II) interfere. The method has good reproducibility, with a relative standard deviation of 1.5% for pure solutions. The application of this method to analysis of water and electrolytic copper is described.
