Spectrophotometric analysis of phosphate concentration in agricultural soil samples and water samples using molybdenum blue method

Radioactivity Concentration in Sediment and Water Samples of Hot Springs of Mahallat and Soil Samples of Their Neighboring Environs

The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs in water and sediment samples from hot springs of Mahallat and  soil samples from their neighboring environs  have been determined using two high resolution high purity germanium (HPGe) detectors with relative efficiencies 38.5% and 55%. The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 23...

A rapid spectrophotometric method for the determination of molybdenum using ferron in industrial and environmental samples

Ferron has been used as an analytical reagent for the extractive spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum(V) obtained from the reduction of molybdenum(VI) with ascorbic acid. Molybdenum(V) in presence of a large number of cations, anions and complexing agents forms a yellow complex with ferron that is quantitatively extractable into tri-n-octylamine-chloroform from 1 M H2SO4 medium. The c...

Spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum(VI) using isothipendyl hydrochloride and pipazethate hydrochloride in alloy steels and soil samples.

A Simple Spectrophotometric Determination of Phosphate in Sugarcane Juices, Water and Detergent Samples

A simple spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of phosphate in sugar cane juice, water and detergent samples. The method is based on the formation of phosphomolybdate with added molybdate followed by its reduction with sodium sulphide in aqueous sulfuric acid medium. The system obeys Lambert-Beer’s law at 715 nm in the concentration range 0.3-12.24 ppm. Molar absorptivity...

Extraction and preconcentration of Pb(II) from water and soil samples using modified activated carbon

In this work, a new extractant was prepared by immobilizing ligand 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol, (5-Br-PADAP), on the activated carbon and applied to extraction of Pb(II) prior to determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. It was confirmed by FT- IR analysis. The metal ion was retained on the 0.05 g of the sorbent in the pH range 6-8, and then eluted with 5 mL of 0....
