Ck. Reddy et Lr. Kakkar, DETERMINATION OF VANADIUM BY EXTRACTION OF V(IV)-THIOCYANATE INTO ETHYL METHYL KETONE, National Academy Science Letters, 17(9-10), 1994, pp. 189-190
A simple and rapid method for the determination of vanadium has been w
orked out. In presence of hydrazine sulphate, vanadium forms a green c
oloured complex with thiocyanate in HCl solution, whose absorbance was
measured at lambda(max) 675 nm, after extraction into ethyl methyl ke
tone. The method is free from the interference of several ions of anal
ytical importance and can analyse satisfactorily samples df varying co
mplexity. Vanadium and thiocyanate were present in the ratio of 1:2 in
the extracted species.
