Differential pulse polarographic determination of molybdenum after separation by 8-hydroxyquinoline extraction into dichloromethane.
A polarographic investigation of several metal 8-hydroxyquinolinates in dichloromethane medium following solvent extraction has been made. From the data obtained, a selective, specific and sensitive method for the determination of molybdenum at ng ml levels has been developed involving direct differential pulse polarographic measurement on the dichloromethane extract. In this work, EDTA is used as an effective masking agent to separate molybdenum from other metals. The proposed method has been applied to the determination of molybdenum in a variety of steels and NBS-SRM 1577 bovine liver with good accuracy and precision.
