T. Pal et Nr. Jana, EMODIN (1,3,8-TRIHYDROXY-6-METHYLANTHRAQUINONE) - A SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC REAGENT FOR THE DETERMINATION OF BERYLLIUM(II), MAGNESIUM(II) AND CALCIUM(II), Analyst, 118(10), 1993, pp. 1337-1342
The individual determination of Be(II), Mg(II) or Ca(II) by convention
al spectrophotometry and simultaneous determination of Mg(II) and Ca(I
I) in mixtures by first-derivative spectrophotometry are possible at t
race levels, using emodin (1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylanthraquinone) as
spectrophotometric reagent. Interference from other metal species, app
lication of these methods to rock samples and statistical analysis of
the results are discussed.
