title: Simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of iron and vanadium by H-point standard addition method and partial least squares regression in micellar medium.
abstract: Simultaneous determination of total iron and vanadium by H-point standard addition method (HPSAM) and partial least squares (PLS) is described. Gallic acid (GA) in a cationic micellar solution of CTAB was used for determination of iron and vanadium in different oxidation states at pH 5. The presence of a micellar system enables total iron and vanadium to be determined with improved sensitivities. The total relative standard error for applying the PLS method to 15 synthetic samples in the ranges 0.20-15.00 mug ml(-1) iron and 0.20-8.00 mug ml(-1) vanadium was 2.2%. The results of applying the H-point standard addition method showed that iron and vanadium can be determined simultaneously with the concentration ratios of iron to vanadium from 10:1 to 1:20 in the mixed sample. Both HPSAM and PLS methods showed suitable abilities to resolve accurately overlapped absorption spectra of the compounds. Both proposed methods were successfully applied to the determination of Fe and V in several synthetic alloy solutions.
