Extraction, spectrophotometric, and atomic absorption spectrophotometric determination of selenium with n-phenylbenzohydroxamic acid

Journal Article · · Anal. Lett.; (United States)

Solvent extraction spectrophotometric and atomic absorption spectrophotometric methods for the determination of selenium(IV) in microgram quantities are described. The selenium(IV) forms yellow colored complex with N-phenylbenzohydroxamic acid (PBHA) extractable into chloroform from 7 M HClO/sub 4/. Se-PBHA complex has maximum absorbance at 345 nm with a molar absorptivity 1.5 x 10/sup 5/ l mol/sup -1/ cm/sup -1/ and Sandell's sensitivity 0.000526 ..mu..g/cm/sup 2/. Effect of molarity, reagent concentration, diverse ions of the extraction of selenium complex were studied. The selenium is determined in presence of tellurium. 20 references, 5 tables.
