Sensitized spectrophotometric determination of Cr(III) ion for speciation of chromium ion in surfactant media using alpha-benzoin oxime.
A simple and accurate micellanized spectrophotometric method for determination of trace amounts of Cr(III) ion in tab and top water and a synthetic mixture has been described. The micellar method is based on effect of organized molecular assemblies such as micelles in spectrophotometric measurement due to their effect on the systems of interest. The ability of micellar system in solubilizing of sparingly soluble ligand or complexes has been used for increasing figures of merit of an analytical method. Due to solubility increasing in aqueous media requirement for a primary extraction can be eliminated. Using the alpha-benzoin oxime (alpha-BO) spectrophotometric determination of Cr(III) ion has been performed and results are compared. The spectrophotometric determination of Cr(III) ion using alpha-BO in the presence of non-ionic surfactant Triton X-100 has been performed. The influence of type and amount of surfactant, pH, complexation time and amount of ligand were examined. Finally, the repeatability, accuracy and the effect of interfering ions on the determination of Cr(III) ion was evaluated. The proposed methods successfully with recovery yield of almost 100% have been applied to the rapid and simple determination of Cr(III) ion in the real samples. There is a good agreement between methods and atomic absorption spectrometry. The Beers law is obeyed over the concentration range of 0.1-13.7 microg mL(-1) for micellar media. The detection limit is 0.8 ng mL(-1). The molar absorptivity of complex is 5350 L mol(-1) cm(-1).
