    Solid state compounds of lanthanides (III) and yttrium derived from ethyl ene diamine tetraacetic acid were prepared from respective basic carbonates, that were neutralized with EDTA stoichiometry quantities. Complexometry with EDTA, thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction have been used in the study of these compounds. The results of complexometry with EDTA as well as TG and DTA curves bed to the stoichiometry of these compounds the following general formula is obeyed: H[Ln(EDTA]. n H 2 O. X-ray powder patterns of these compounds permitted to establish two isomorphous series. The DTA ant TG curves allowed us to study the dehydration process, the thermal stability and thermal decomposition of these compounds. (C.G.C.)

    1985-01-01

    Recent literature data on employing inorganic and organic oxygen-, nitrogen- and sulfur-containing substances as masking reagents (MR) in complexonometry of alkali earths, rare earths and transition elements are reviewed for the period of 1971-1983. Effectiveness of any type of MR is shown to be dependent on the electron configuration of a cation being masked. Sr, La, Th, V(6), Zr, Hf, V(5), Nb(5), Ta(5), Mo(6), W(6) a.o. are masked by oxygen-containing ligands. Zn, Cd, Fe(2, 3), Co(2, 3), Ni, etc. are masked by nitrogen- and sulfur-bearing ligands. Thiocompounds mask mainly In, Tl(3), Sn(2), Pb, Bi

  8. Determination of aluminium in iron ores and ferroalloys by complexometry

    International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

    Tikhonov, V.N.; Grigorovich, L.F.

    1977-01-01

    The present method is based on fusing iron ore samples and ferroalloys with NaOH, leaching of the alloy in water, and complexometric estimation of aluminium in the filtrate by back titration of excess EDTA with a CuSO 4 solution in the presence of a glycine-thymol blue tracer, using NaF to increase selectivity. The final titration point is fixed by means of a photoelectrical titrator. Fifty-fold amounts of Cu(2), Mg, Zn, In, Pb, Fe(3) and Ni, twenty-five-fold amounts of Ca, Sr and Cd, ten-fold amounts of Co, five-fold amounts of Hg(2), Bi and Mo(6), two-fold amounts of Mn, and equal amounts of Ga, Tl(3), Zr, V(5) and W(6) do not impede determination. Determination is impeded by metals that form strong fluoride complexes with Sc, Y, rare-earth elements, Ti(4), Sn(2) and V(4), even when those metals are contained in equal amounts; it is also impeded by equal amounts of Cr(3). The selectivity of the given method has been compared with that of methods involving titration with a solution constituting zinc chloride with xylenol orange and with a solution comprising copper chloride and sulphur chrome-azurol in the presence of cytil trimethyl ammonium. The method is more selective. A hexamethylenetetramine buffer solution has been used to obtain an optimum (pH 6) medium. The above procedure is employed to assay standard ferroboron samles of iron ore

  12. Interference of Lithium in Measuring Magnesium by Complexometry: Discussions of the Mechanism

    Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

    Jie Gao

    2013-01-01

    Full Text Available There is usually a large concentration of magnesium in the brine of salt lakes and as a consequence it is difficult to measure Mg2+ accurately with the complexometric titration by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA because of the large levels of Li+ also coexisting in brine samples. In this study, a relationship between the relative error related to the number of drops of the indicator and the NMR spectra of anhydrous ethanol and n-butanol, with or without LiCl, was analyzed and compared. It was then possible to suggest a mechanism to explain the interference of Li+ when measuring Mg2+ and to control the interference in the alcohol mixture because Li+ can then complex with the alcohols and mainly form a complex with n-butanol.

    In this paper, we investigate the cation-exchange properties of a self-assembled hybrid material towards trivalent ions, lanthanides (La{sup 3+}, Eu{sup 3+}, Gd{sup 3+}, Yb{sup 3+}) and Fe{sup 3+}. The bis-zwitterionic lamellar material was prepared by sol-gel process from only 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), succinic anhydride, and ethylenediamine. In ethanol heated under reflux, the exchange ethylenediammonium versus Ln{sup 3+} proved to be complete by complexometry measurements and elemental analyses, one Cl{sup -} ion per one Ln(III) remaining as expected for charge balance. In aqueous solution at 20 degrees C, the material was found to be selective towards lanthanide in spite of the similarity of their ionic radii. The cation uptake depends on the nature of the salt, the difference between two lanthanides reaching up to 20% in some cases. Finally, ion-exchange reaction with FeCl{sub 3} was chosen as a probe to get more information on the material after incorporation of trivalent ions. Based on Moessbauer spectroscopic investigations on the resulting material in conjunction with the XRD analysis of materials containing trivalent ions, a structural model was proposed to describe the incorporation of trivalent ions by exchange reaction within the original zwitterionic material.

    Due to the complexity of the samples, the choice of the analytical methodology to be applied at a radiochemical laboratory, for the evaluation of different separation steps if of a great importance. It is necessary to know the performance of mixer-settlers in two extreme situations: efficiency limit determined by fluid dynamic factors and separation factor determined by physicochemical variables. The element used to determine the efficiency limit was magnesium, due to its low distribution coefficient in tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP). Zirconium, being one of the principal fission product, is partially extracted and was used to study the influence of chemical conditions. Atomic absorption spectrometry was selected for the determination of micro quantities of magnesium, and complexometry for macro quantities of this element. It was necessary to separate uranium using extraction chromatography with Kel F-TBP columns. Concentration range was 0.1 - 1 mg/L and 7 - 70 g/L respectively. Zirconium was determined by spectrophotometry with xylenol orange. For organic samples, it was necessary to reextract the analyte with fluoride, to evaporate with sulfuric acid and to complex the excess of fluoride with aluminum. Uranium determinations, required for mass balance, were carried out by spectrophotometry and potentiometry depending upon concentration. Because of the presence of zirconium, two methods were developed for uranium determination using liquid-liquid extraction in the presence of complexing agents. In one case, TBP was used as extractant, dibenzoylmethane as chromogenic reagent and EDTA as complexing agent. For very low quantities of uranium, tri-octyl phosphine oxide (TOPO) was the extractant, 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (TAAP) the chromogenic reagent, and (1-2-cyclohexylenedinitrilo) tetraacetic acid (CDTA) the complexing agent.

    The extraction ability of a monodentate organophosphorus extractant depends on the basicity of the phosphoryl oxygen atom and the nature of the substituents attached to the phosphorus atom. The basicity on the phosphoryl oxygen in the neutral organophosphorus extractant series increases in the order, phosphates 1 H, 13 C and 31 P NMR spectra. Extraction of U(VI) by 1.1 M DABP/n-dodecane as a function of nitric acid was studied using 233 U tracer. Th(IV) extraction behaviour as a function of nitric acid was studied using Arsenazo-III as chromogenic agent. 5 mL of the 1.1 M DABP solution in the diluent (n-dodecane) was equilibrated with 5mL of saturated thorium nitrate in an equilibration tube using a magnetic stirring bar. The organic and aqueous phases were analysed by complexometry using DTPA as titrant and xylenol orange as indicator. The LOC values were determined as a function of nitric acid concentration. The extraction of U(VI) and Th(IV) by 1.1M DABP along with TBP in n-dodecane at 303 K as a function of equilibrium nitric acid concentration are shown. The DABP shows higher distribution ratios for U(VI) and Th(IV) in the entire range of nitric acid concentrations studied compared to TBP. The steep rise in the distribution ratio is attributed to the higher basicity of phosphoryl group in phosphonates compared to the less basic nature of phosphates. The third phase formation of thorium as function of nitric acid concentration with 1.1 M DABP at 303 K are given. The LOC values for DABP system were higher throughout the nitric acid concentration compared to the TBP system. (author)

    Strontium chloride, 89 SrCI 2 , a radiopharmaceutical used for palliative therapy of bone metastases from breast and prostate cancer is produced by irradiation in a nuclear reactor. The analytical quality control procedures are established to confirm the radionuclidic purity of the preparation, its chemical composition and specific activity. Chemical concentration of strontium in the product is determined by complexometry with arsenazo III and chlorides assay by potentiometric titration with silver nitrate. The contamination with chemical impurities is determined by DC graphite spark spectrography. The specific activity and isotonicity of the solution are corrected by addition of natural SrCI 2 and NaCI. 90 Sr is produced in the 89 Sr(n,γ) 90 Sr reaction contributes to impurities. It decays to 90 Y and the activity of 90 Sr can be calculated from the activity of 90 Y. The extraction chromatography on nonionic acrylic ester polymer coated with organic solutions of selective features (Spec resins for Eichrom) is applied for separation of radionuclides. The extraction chromatography system consisting of two columns: strontium selective resin and rare earth elements selective resin was used for separation of 90 Y from 90 Sr in the 89 SrCI 2 solution. The 90 Y and 90 Sr carrier-free solutions used as tracers helped for determination of extraction conditions and efficiency. The concentration of 90 Sr determined in the analysed solution is at the level of 2.10 -4 % which conforms with the data calculated from irradiation parameters. The obtained product, strontium chloride 89 SrCI 2 for injection, forms a sterile and isotonic water solution (pH - 4-7) with specific activity of 89 Sr in the range from 3.5 to 6.3. MBq/mg and radioactive concentration of 37.5 MBq/ml. The radionuclidic purity of the obtained preparations is at the level of 99.9% with respect to 89 Sr

    Full Text Available The aim of this study was to construct a nanostructured lipid system as a strategy to improve the in vitro antibacterial activity of copper(II complexes. New compounds with the general formulae [CuX2(INH2]·nH2O (X = Cl− and n = 1 (1; X = NCS− and n = 5 (2; X = NCO− and n = 4 (3; INH = isoniazid, a drug widely used to treat tuberculosis derived from the reaction between the copper(II chloride and isoniazid in the presence or absence of pseudohalide ions (NCS− or NCO− were synthesized and characterized by infrared spectrometry, electronic absorption spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, melting points and complexometry with 2,2′,2′′,2′′′-(Ethane-1,2-diyldinitrilotetraacetic acid (EDTA. The characterization techniques allowed us to confirm the formation of the copper(II complexes. The Cu(II complexes were loaded into microemulsion (MEs composed of 10% phase oil (cholesterol, 10% surfactant [soy oleate and Brij® 58 (1:2] and 80% aqueous phase (phosphate buffer pH = 7.4 prepared by sonication. The Cu(II complex-loaded MEs displayed sizes ranging from 158.0 ± 1.060 to 212.6 ± 1.539 nm, whereas the polydispersity index (PDI ranged from 0.218 ± 0.007 to 0.284 ± 0.034. The antibacterial activity of the free compounds and those that were loaded into the MEs against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC® 25922, as evaluated by a microdilution technique, and the cytotoxicity index (IC50 against the Vero cell line (ATCC® CCL-81TM were used to calculate the selectivity index (SI. Among the free compounds, only compound 2 (MIC 500 μg/mL showed activity for S. aureus. After loading the compounds into the MEs, the antibacterial activity of compounds 1, 2 and 3 was significantly increased against E. coli (MIC’s 125, 125 and 500 μg/mL, respectively and S. aureus (MICs 250, 500 and 125 μg/mL, respectively. The loaded compounds were less toxic against the Vero
