Determination of traces of vanadium with 5-bromosalicylhydroxamic acid by solid-phase spectrophotometry

Journal Article · · Analytical Letters; (United States)
A microdetermination method at {mu}g.1{sup {minus}1} levels for vanadium by solid-phase spectrophotometry has been developed. 5-Bromosalicylhydroxamic acid was used as chromogenic reagent to form a 1:2 violet complex which is easily sorbed and concentrated on a dextran-type anion-exchange resin. The resin-phase absorbances at 560 and 850 nm were measured directly. Vanadium can be determined in the 5-60 {mu}g.1{sup {minus}1} range with a RSD of 4.3%. The method is applied to the determination of vanadium in petroleum crudes and natural water samples.
