RESUMO
A water-isobutanol extraction-chromogenic system for NiII, based on the azo dye 5-methyl-4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol (MTAR; H2L) and the ionic liquid Aliquat 336 (A336), was studied. Under the optimal conditions (cMTAR = 2.0 × 10-4 mol dm-3, cA336 = 5.6 × 10-3 mol dm-3, pH 8.5 and extraction time t = 1 min), NiII is extracted as a ternary complex which can be represented by the formula (A336+)2[Ni(L2-)2]. In the absence of A336, or in a slightly acidic medium, a binary complex, [Ni(HL-)2], with an absorption maximum at l = 548 nm and a shoulder at 590 nm is formed. The following extraction-spectrophotometric characteristics were determined at the above-mentioned optimal conditions: lmax (545 nm), molar absorptivity (5.0 × 104 dm3 mol-1 cm-1), Sandell's sensitivity (1.2 × 10-3 ∆g cm-2), Beer's law limits (0.05-3.1 mg cm-3), constant of extraction (Log K = 6.1) and fraction extracted (99.2%). The effect of foreign ions was studied; the most serious interferences were caused by CoII, CuII and CrIII.
RESUMO
Liquid-liquid extraction-chromogenic systems for vanadium(V) based on xylometazoline hydrochloride (XMZ) and azo derivatives of resorcinol (ADRs) were studied. The following ADRs were used: 4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol (TAR), 5-methyl-4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol (MTAR), and 6-hexyl-4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol (HTAR). Concentration of the reagents, pH of the aqueous medium and shaking time were subjects of optimization experiments. The chloroform-extracted ternary complexes were of composition 1:1:1. The molar absorptivity coefficients (el), absorption maxima (l), constants of extraction (Log K), and fractions extracted (E%) were found to be e553 = 2.50 ´ 104 dm3 mol-1 cm-1, Log K = 3.5, and E = 96% (ADR = TAR); e550 = 1.88 ´ 104 dm3 mol-1 cm-1, Log K = 3.4, and E = 98% (ADR = MTAR); and e554 = 2.62 ´ 104 dm3 mol-1 cm-1, Log K = 5.0, and E = 99.5% (ADR = HTAR). The Sandell's sensitivities and Beer's law limits were determined as well.
