Square Wave Po1arography of Uranium(VI). II. Influence of Surface Active Agents

The influence of surface active ag ents on the square wave polarographic behaviour of uranyl acetylacetone was investiga t ed. Tritone-X-100 decreases specifically the S.W. peak height of each uranyl-acetylacetonato species, i.e. the adsorption layer is specifically penetrable by each one. From this sp ecific depression the over-all stability constant of uranyl acetylacetonato complexes, in 1 M sodium perchlorate, was calculated as log ~2 = 12 .5. This is in agreement with earlier obtained results3• Elec trocapillary curves for T-X-100 and acetylacetone are also prese nted

Polarographic Determination of Ruthenium in Citrates and Tartrates Solutions

Polarographic methods are proposed for the determination of small amounts of ruthenium in two new supporting electrolytes: a. citric acid (0.3 M) and sodium hydroxide (0.15 M); b. tartaric acid (0.2 M), sodium hydroxide (0.1 M) and thymol (0.009 %). Determination of ruthenium is applicable in the concentration range from 4 to 120 micrograms of ruthenium per milliliter with a relative standard errors from 15 to 0.8 % in both electrolytes. Hydrochloric, sulfuric and perchloirc acids (up to 0.5 N) do not interfer, but in the presence of nitric acid (any traces of nitrites) polarographic determinations are impossible

Spectrophotometric and Polarographic Determination of Ruthenium in Oxalic Acid

A spectrophotometric and polarographic method is proposed for the determination of ruthenium tetroxide absorbed in oxalic acid. Spectrophotometric measurements of ruthenium in 1 N oxalic acid were made at 375 mμ. In the concentration range from 2 to 36 micrograms of ruthenium per milliliter the relative standard error amounted 14 % to 1 %, respectively. The polarographic determination was performed in a supporting electrolyte containing 1 N oxalic acid and 0.006 % thymol (as a maximum suppressor). The determination is applicable in the concentration range from 4 to 120 micrograms ruthenium per milliliter with a relative standard error of 15 do 0.7 %, espectively. Hydrochloric, sulfuric and perchloric acid up to of 0.5 N does not interfere. In the presence of nitric acid spectrophotometric and polarographic determinations of ruthenium are impossible

A New Electrode System With Efficient Mixing of Electrolyte

In the last decade, many authors have emphasized the exceptional possibilities of polarography and the related advanced techniques for the determination and physico-chemical characterization of dissolved trace metals in natural aquatic systems.In addition to the quantitative aspects, it is also possible to characterize the physicochemical state of ionic species in natural and polluted wate rs. This is oL particular importance for the inve stigation of basic biogeochemical processes. These methods could be used for the elucidation of mechanisms and pathways in the biogeochemical cycles of a particular metal in natural and polluted aquatic systems

An Investigation of the System: Ferric Chloride-Hydrochloric Acid-Water-Isopropyl Ether

An experimental investigation of the heterogeneous system: ferric chloride-water-hydrochloric acid-isopropyl ether a t 20°c is reported. The change in volumes of the phases as a function of the quantity of each of the added components is determined. The equilibrium composition of the phases of the four-component system at various initial concentrations of hydrochloric acid and ferric chloride is analytically d etermined. From the results, orthogonal projections of the points representing the composition of the phases in a tetrahedral model are drawn. The results of the analyses and transient conditions from two-phase to three-phase systems (and vice versa) are discussed
