K. Uesugi et al., EXTRACTION-SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF PALLADIUM WITH 3-THIOPHENALDEHYDE-4-PHENYL-3-THIOSEMICARBAZONE, Microchemical journal, 50(1), 1994, pp. 88-93
A highly selective spectrophotometric method is described for the dete
rmination of palladium, using 3-thiophenaldehyde-4-phenyl-3-thiosemica
rbazone (TAPS). The method is based on the formation of an insoluble p
alladium(II)-TAPS complex, which is extractable into chloroform from 1
M sulfuric acid medium after shaking for 10 min. The complex system c
onforms to Beer's law over the concentration range 0.4-6 mug ml-1 of p
alladium. The proposed method has been satisfactorily applied to the d
etermination of palladium in brazing filler metals. (C) 1994 Academic
