COLORIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF ZIRCONIUM BY MEANS OF ITS REACTION WITH ARSENAZO III (in Russian)

Journal Article · · Zavodskaya Lab.
OSTI ID:4141523
The reagent arsenazo III (1,8-dioxynaphthalene-3,6disulfonate-2,7-bis- azo-2-phenyl arsenic acid) forms bluish-violet complexes with Zr even in a 2 N HCl solution, the optical density of which remains stable through a wide pH range. As in the case of the pyrocatechin violet method, the Zr must be transformed into a homogeneous zirconyl solution by bringing to boiling with HCl. The best range for the determination lies between 5 and 30 per 50 ml of sample. The method is highly selective: relatively high concentrations of Al, Fe, Ti, and Sn could be tolerated thus making it useful in the rapid determination of Zr in ores without first separating the other elements.
