[en] Based on the chromogenic reaction of Ag with p-dimethylamino benzyl rhodanine, a new spectrophotometric method for determination of Ag in the presence of PVA-124 and Triton X-100 as surfactant is established. The factors such as acidity, reaction time and the concentration of surfactant were studied. The results show that the appropriate conditions are as the following. The concentrations of p-dimethylamino benzyl rhodanine, PVA and Triton X-100 are 0.1 g·L"-"1, 10 g·L"-"1 and 0.16% respectively. Acidity is 1.0 mol·L"-"1. Reaction time is 20 minutes. Absorption wavelength is 470 nm. The influence of several coexisting ions, especially Pu (Ⅳ) on analyzing Ag is also studied. The results indicate that when the concentration of Ag is less than five times of the concentration of Pu. PMBP is used to extract Pu (Ⅳ). The optimum extraction conditions are as follows. The concentration of PMBP is 0.1 mol·L-1. Acidity is 2.0 mol·L-1. The ratio of organic and water phase is 1:1. Extraction time is 3 minutes. Conformity to Berr's law was obtained with the scope of 0.1-1.0 μg·mL"-"1. The determination limit of Ag is 0.1 μg·mL"-"1. The relative standard deviation for this method is 2.6% (n=3). The recovery is 104-114%. (authors)
