Abstract

A sensitive molecular absorption spectrophotometric (MAS) method has been developed for the estimation of silicon in iron and steel samples. The method is based on the typical property of silicon to form molybdosilicic acid in the acid medium in which 1 silicon atom binds 12 molybdenum atoms. The molybdosilicic acid is extracted byn-butanol and the attached molybdenum is stripped and back extracted into aqueous phase using 1:1 NH4OH. The stripped molybdenum is determined using a sensitive MAS method involving molybdenum–pyrocatecholviolet (PCV)–Cetyltrimethyl-ammoniumbromide (CTAB) ternary ion association complex (1). Phosphorus and arsenic interfere significantly but may be masked with tartaric acid.
