We. Haskins et al., EFFECT OF SOLUTION PH AND BARIUM(II) ON EUROPIUM(III) DETERMINATION USING ARSENATE-III, Canadian journal of applied spectroscopy, 41(4), 1996, pp. 106-108
The use of arsenazo III for the spectrophotometric determination of eu
ropium(III) in solution has been investigated. Specifically, the use o
f this indicator with varied conditions of solution pH and Ba2+ concen
tration was studied. It was determined that a non-linear calibration w
as possible when the ratio of absorbances measured at 651 and 603 nm w
as plotted as a function of Eu3+ concentration. However, univariant me
thods for Eu3+ quantitation were not successful with uncontrolled Ba2 concentrations.
