Spectrophotometric analysis of mixtures of two components with extensively or completely overlapping spectra by the H-point standard additions method
1990
This paper discusses the requirements and scope of application of the H-Point Standard Additions Method (HPSAM) for resolving binary mixtures. Various mixtures of dyes with extensively or completely overlapping spectra were assayed with accurate, precise results. The method thus developed was also applied to the spectrophotometric resolution of binary mixtures of phenol and o-cresol, the absorption bands of which lie in similar positions and feature similar absorptivities.
Spectrophotometric determination of fluoride in fluoride-bearing minerals after decomposition by fusion with sodium hydroxide
1984
The decomposition of highly insoluble minerals (fluorspar and cryolite) by fusion with molten alkali-metal hydroxides is studied. The introduction of additives such as aluminium compounds or sodium peroxide to obtain total liberation of fluoride from calcium fluoride samples, is tested. The fusion is done in a silver crucible with a Bunsen burner. The cooled melt is easily soluble, giving solutions suitable for spectrophotometric fluoride determination by the Zr(IV)-fluoride-Erichrome Cyanine R method.
Determination of fluoride after direct separation from acid medium by collection of its volatile compounds
1989
A method is proposed for determination of fluoride by separation in acid medium followed by ion-selective electrode measurement. The separation is done at temperatures up to 200 °C, without any previous treatment of the sample, in a PTFE reactor designed to ensure the complete absorption of volatile fluoride compounds. The distillation variables (temperature, time and acid concentration) have been optimized and the interference of other various species in the separation step has been studied. The method has been applied to geological samples. The results obtained are statistically satisfactory.
Decomposition of organic matter with molten alkali: determination of arsenic and antimony in organic compounds
1982
Decomposition of organic matter with molten alkali has been examined as a method of opening out organic matrices for elemental detection and/or determination. The fusion product is readily soluble. Arsenic and antimony in organic compounds can be determined iodimetrically after mineralization by this fusion method.
Application of the H-point standard additions method by using absorbance increment values as analytical signals
1991
Abstract This paper demonstrates how the absorbance increment (ΔA) between two wavelengths selected according to the fundamental criteria for application of the H-Point standard additions method (HPSAM) are only related to the analyte concentration. A procedure for calculation of the unknown analyte concentration with no bias error by applying HPSAM to ΔA values in much the same way as the method of standard additions (MOSA), is reported. The method was also applied to a calibration with a single standard. The results obtained on 6 samples with maximal separations between 65 and 0 nm are reported. Finally, the proposed method was applied to the resolution of different phenol-o-cresol mixtur…
