Cg. Hsu et al., DETERMINATION OF TRACE SCANDIUM BY ION-EXCHANGER PHASE SPECTROPHOTOMETRY WITH P-NITROCHLOROPHOSPHONAZO, Mikrochimica acta, 126(1-2), 1997, pp. 83-86
Ion-exchanger phase spectrophotometry with p-nitrochlorophosphonazo (C
PApN) has been developed for the determination of scandium. The linear
range is 1-8 mu g of scandium in 50 ml of solution, using 0.8 g of re
sin, with an apparent molar absorptivity of 2.76 x 10(5) l mol(-1) cm(
-1). Aluminum and rare earth elements in reasonable amounts do not int
erfere. The method has been applied successfully to the determination
of scandium in alloys, with relative standard deviations of 2-4%.
