Description

The possibility of formation a colored chelate between Pb and 1,5-diphenyl carbazide (DPCH) was studied to develop an extraction spectrophotometric method for lead determination. The reagent reacts in borate buffer (pH=8.3) to give a red-violet chelate after extraction with chloroform: pyridine (1:3), which has an absorption maximum at 522 nm. The stoichiometric composition of chelate is Cpb: DPCH = (1:1). The molar absorptivity and chelate constant formation were found to be 3.8 x 104 1.mol-1.cm-1 and 6 x 103 respectively, and we have studied all factors which affect on the complex formation and stability of its absorbance. Beer-Lambert was obeyed within the range (0.1 - 2)mg/l. The developed method was examined on lead standard solutions (RSD > 2.59%, recovery < 96.6). All results ensure the analytical possibility of the developed method.(author)
