Abstract
A simple, selective and sensitized spectrophotometric method for determination of trace amounts of Fe3+ ion in tap and waste water solutions has been described. The spectrophotometric determination of Fe3+ ion using Ferron in the presence of N,N-Dodecytrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) has been carried out. The Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range of 0.05-2.6 g mL-1 of Fe3+ ion with the relative standard deviation (RSD %) <0.2 % and the molar absorptivity of complexes in pH 3.5 is 3.8×103 L mol-1 cm-1.
Potentiometric pH titration has been used for prediction of protonation constants of ferron, and evaluating its stoichiometry and respective stability constant with Fe3+ ion. As it is obvious the most likely species of ferron alone and its complexes are LH (log=7.64), LH2 (logK=10.52), LH3 (logK=11.74) and ML2 (log= 23.68), ML3 (log= 23.68), ML3H (log= 23.68), ML3H2 (log= 23.68) and ML(OH)2 (log=23.68) respectively.

New o,o/–monoazo reagents have been synthesized using pyrogallol and 2-aminophenol-6-sulphonic acid or its derivatives. Spectrophotometric properties of the complexes formed by the reaction of synthesized monoazo reagents with Zr4+ have been investigated. According to the results it is found that the most sensitive and selective ligand for the Zr4+ is 2,2/,3,4-tetrahydroxy–3/-sulpho–5/-chloroazobenzene (tetrahydroxyazon SCl) and it was used for the direct spectrophotometric determination of Zr4+ion. Tetrahydroxyazon SCl reagent forms a red complex with Zr4+ ion in acidic media up to pH 6. The complex formation is fast and its absorbance reaches to a level immediately where remains constant for more than three days. The metal (M):ligand (L) ratio of the formed complex is 1:1 and the optimal wavelength of the
complex is 496 nm. Under optimum conditions Zr4+ ion acts in accordance with the Beer law at an ion concentration range of 0.08-3.20 μg/mL. The molar absorptivity was found as 34500 Lmol-1cm-1. The determination of Zr4+ was not interfered by Cu2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Ni2+, Cr3+, Zn2+, Bi3+, U6+, Th4+, Al3+, Be2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Hg2+, halides, phosphates, sulfates, thiocyanides, urea, tartrate, ascorbic acid etc. This method is highly sensitive, selective, very rapid and a simple technique. It has been successfully applied to the determination of Zr4+ ion in an aluminum based certified alloys.

An Extractive Spectrophotometric Method of Determination of Molybdenum(VI) Using 3-Hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-4H-chromen-4-one


Abstract
3-Hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-4H-chromen-4-one (HL) behaved as a sensitive spectrophotometric reagent for molybdenum(VI). The metal ion formed a yellow complex with the reagent in acetic acid medium. The complex was extractable into 1,2-dichloroethane and the absorbance values remained unchanged for more than one week. Spectral data showed the formation of 1 : 2 species with λmax value at 411 nm. Beer’s law was obeyed over the concentration range of 0—2.3 ppm. The molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity were calculated to be 5.61 × 104 dm3 mol−1 cm−1 and 0.0017 μg Mo cm−2 respectively, at 411 nm. The effect of as many as 41 cations and 28 anions and complexing agents was studied. Out of these only Sn(II), Ce(IV), citrate, oxalate, disodium dihydrogen ethylenediaminetetraacetate, and hydrogen peroxide interfered seriously. For ten replicate determinations of 1 μg Mo cm−3 the standard deviation was 0.008 with a relative mean error of ±0.09%. The method is simple, selective, precise and rapid. It has been applied satisfactorily to the determination of molybdenum in steels, waters and flue dust samples.

Extractive Spectrophotometric Determination of Tungsten(VI) Using 3-Hydroxy-2-(2'-Thienyl)-4-OXO-4H-1- Benzopyran

Abstract
A simple, rapid, highly sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method for the determination of tungsten(VI) in trace amounts is developed using 3- hydroxy-2-(2'-thienyl)-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran (HTB) as a reagent for the complexation of metal ion and extracting the 1:2 (metal:ligand) complex into dichloromethane from 0.2 M HCl solution. It obeys Beer's law in the range 0-2.8 g Wml-1 with molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity at 415 nm as 6.45 x 104 L mol-1cm-1 and 0.0029 g W(VI) cm-2, respectively. The method is free from the interference of a large number (39) of elements and handles satisfactorily the analysis of various samples of varying complexity.

Performance and frequency of use of NAA and other techniques during the certification of two new Polish CMRs prepared by INCT

Abstract
Two new candidate reference materials of biological origin, viz. Tea Leaves (INCT-TL-1) and Mixed Polish Herbs (INCT-MPH-2), were prepared, and world-wide interlaboratory comparison involving over 100 laboratories was organised with the aim to certify these materials for the content of possibly great number of trace elements. In this paper a preliminary analysis of the contribution of various analytical techniques to the certification of the new reference materials is presented and discussed with the emphasis on the role played by neutron activation analysis (NAA). The potential significance of “very accurate methods” by radiochemical NAA in the certification process is pointed out. An attempt is made to compare the outcome of the present intercomparison with those formerly organised by INCT as well as with some earlier IAEA intercomparisons in order to demonstrate similarities, differences and trends in the use of the various analytical techniques in trace analysis as a function of time.
