title: Synthesis of poly(acrylamidrazone-hydrazide) chelating fiber and application of enrichment-separation for traces of indium, tin, chromium, vanadium and titanium from solution samples.
abstract: A poly(acrylamidrazone-hydrazide) chelating fiber has been synthesized from polyacrylonitrile fiber and used for enrichment-separation of traces of In(III), Sn(IV), Cr(III), VO(I) and Ti(IV) from solution samples with satisfactory results. These ions (5-250 ng/ml) can be quantitatively enriched (recovery > 95%) by the fiber at a 10 ml/min flow rate in the pH range 4-7, and desorbed quantitatively (recovery > 95%) with 10 ml of 2-5M hydrochloric acid from a fiber column at 6 ml/min flow rate. When the fiber, which had been stored in a glass bottle for about two years and then treated with strong acids (concentrated hydrochloric or nitric acid), was reused 10 times, the recoveries of the above ions by enrichment were still over 94%, and hundred-fold to thousand-fold excesses of Cu(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Ca(II), Mg(II), Fe(III) and Al(III) caused little interference in the determination of these ions by ICP-AES. The lowest concentrations for the proposed method were 50 ng/ml and In and Sn and 5 ng/ml for Cr, V and Ti. The RSD was 1.2-4.0%. The contents of these ions in real solution samples determined by this method were basically in agreement with the certified values of the samples, with average errors below 3.3%. The IR spectra of the fiber adsorbed with Cr(III) or VO(I) showed that Cr(III) or VO(I) combined mainly with nitrogen atoms in the fiber to form a coordination complex.
