description

A new spectrophotometric method was developed to determine vanadium using tannic acid as a complexing reagent to form a coloured reaction product which can easily be extracted by 1-pentanol in the presence of cetylpyridinium. The developed method can successfully be applied to determine trace levels of 10 ng/ml of vanadium in natural waters without any preconcentration step. It can also determine less than 1 mg/kg of vanadium in edible oils and petroleum products.
