Ey. Hashem, EXTRACTIVE AND EQUILIBRIUM STUDIES OF THE COMPLEXATION OF THORIUM(IV)WITH NAPHTHAZARIN, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. A: Inorganic, physical, theoretical & analytical, 33(9), 1994, pp. 837-841
The complexation equilibria of thorium (IV) with naphthazarin (5,8-dih
ydroxy-1,4-naphthaquinone, NAZA) have been studied spectrophotometrica
lly in 40% (v/v) ethanol-water and at an ionic strength of 0.1M NaClO4
, in the pH range (0.7-8.0). A simple, rapid, selective and sensitive
method for spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of thoriu
m (IV) has also been proposed. The effect of diverse ions have been st
udied.
