Sequential liquid-liquid extraction graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometric (GFAAS) and spectrophotometric determination of zirconium(IV) with calixarene hydroxamic acid.
A new calixarene hydroxamic acid, 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy-5,11,17,23-tetrakis (N-p-chlorophenyl) calix[4]arene hydroxamic acid (CPCHA) is synthesized and used for the extraction and graphite furnace atomic absorption determination of zirconium(IV). The extract is also determined spectrophotometrically as CPCHA-SCN complex having maximum absorbance at 447 nm with molar absorptivity 9.4x10(3) l mol(-1) cm(-1). The Beer's law obeys in the range of 1.0-9.5 ppm of zirconium. The graphite atomic absorption (GFAAS) increases the sensitivity by about 50 folds. The method is applied to the trace determination of zirconium(IV) in standard samples.
