Developing Fast and Facile Method for Speciation Analysis of Vanadium (V/IV) Ions with Calmagite Immobilization on Triacetyl Cellulose Membrane in Water Samples

An inexpensive and fast vanadium [(IV), (V)] speciation method was performed by using optical chemical sensor that incorporates lipophilized calmagite (Cal) with cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC) as a suitable ligand on triacetylcellulose membrane in aqueous solutions prior to UV-Vis spectrometric determination. Absorbance decrease of the optode in pH 6 at 490 nm depended on the V(V) ion concentration. The V(IV) content was found after oxidation to V(V) at the mentioned conditions. Two aliquots of sample were used for speciative determination of V(V) and V(V) + V(IV) mixture. With the optimized ...
