Dt. Burns et Md. Dunford, SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF CHROMIUM(VI) BY EXTRACTION OF PROTRIPTYLINIUM DICHROMATE, Analytica chimica acta, 319(1-2), 1996, pp. 205-207
Chromium(VI) (< 500 mu g dichromate) can be determined spectrophotomet
rically at 365 nm after its extraction as protriptylinium dichromate i
nto acetone-chloroform (1:1, v/v). The effects of acidity, diverse ion
s and masking studies are reported. The relative standard deviation fo
r determination of 200 mu g of dichromate is 0.9% (n = 7). The system
has been applied to the spectrophotometric determination of chromium i
n steels (0.03-4%).
