Study on Colour Reaction of Vanadium(V) with 2-(2-Quinolylazo)-5-Diethylaminophenol and Its Application
Abstract
A sensitive, selective and rapid method has been developed for the determination of vanadium based on the rapid reaction of vanadium(V) with 2-(2-quinolylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (QADEAP). The QADEAP reacts with V(V) in the presence of citric acid-sodium hydroxide buffer solution (pH =3.5) and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB) medium to form a violet chelate of a molar ratio 1:2 (V(V) to QADEAP). The molar absorptivity of the chelate is 1.23 x 105 L mol-1 cm-1 at 590 nm in the measured solution. Beer's law is obeyed in the range of 0.01~0.6 mg mL-1. This method was applied to the determination of vanadium(v) with good results.
