Molybdenum in Alloy Steels

A highly selective extractive spectrophotometric method for micro-determination of molybdenum has been presented. Employing ascorbic acid as a reductant, Mo(VI) was reduced to Mo(V) at the room temperature in 1 mol L-1 H2SO4.

The obtained Mo(V) formed a yellow-colored (1:2) complex with 3-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-propionyl-4-oxo-4H- 1-benzopyran (HMPB). The complex was quantitatively extracted to 1,2-dichloroethane and absorbance of the extract was measured at 414 run.

The relative standard deviation and coefficient of variance were +/- 0.0025 (in absorbance units) and +/- 0.25% for 10 replicate determinations of 1 mu g mL(-1) analyte.

The method was free from the interference from a large number of analytically important elements and has been applied satisfactorily to the determination of molybdenum in various synthetic, environmental, and technical samples with the improved accuracy and precision.
