Iron/ions/salts determination

The type and quality of the pigment are determined not only by the nature and concentration of the additives, but also by the reaction rate. The rate depends on the grades of iron used, their particle size, the rates of addition of the iron and nitrobenzene (or another nitro compound), and the pH value. No bases are required to precipitate the iron compounds. Only ca. 3 % of the theoretical amount of acid is required to dissolve all of the iron. The aromatic nitro compound oxidizes the Fe2 + to Fe3 + ions, acid is liberated during hydrolysis and pigment formation, and more metallic iron is dissolved by the liberated acid to form iron(II) salts consequently, no additional acid is necessary. 

Elemental composition Fe 44.06%, Cl 55.94%. The water of crystalhzation in hydrate salt can be determined by gravimetry. Iron can be analyzed in the aqueous solution of the salt by AA or ICP/AES techniques (See Iron). Chloride ion can be determined by titration with sdver nitrate or mercuric nitrate or by ion chromatography. 

CO2 molecule, or Mg + and CO2 play the role of oxide acceptor to form water, carbonate, and MgC03, respectively [38]. The reactions of the iron carboxylate with these Lewis acids are thought to be fast and not rate determining. For the cobalt and nickel macrocyclic catalysts, CO2 is the ultimate oxide acceptor with formation of bicarbonate salts in addition to CO, but it is not clear what the precise pathway is for decomposition of the carboxylate to CO [33]. The influence of alkali metal ions on CO2 binding for these complexes was discussed earlier [15]. It appears the interactions between bound CO2 and these ions are fast and reversible, and one would presume that reactions between protons and bound CO2 are rapid as well.

Vickery and Vickery [9] have investigated the interference by aluminium and iron in the ion-selective electrode method for the determination of fluoride in plant extracts. They demonstrated that plant ashes may contain sufficient of these two elements to seriously interfere in the determination of fluoride when using the fluoride-selective electrode. In the presence of these metals, the known additions method gives erroneous results, as did that involving the attempted formation of complexes with ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (disodium salt) or 1,2-cyclohexylenedinitrilotetraacetic acid. 

In the photometric determination of copper, a coupling product formed between the diazonium salt from 2-amino-pyridine and resorcinol, or 4-(2-pyridinylazo)-l,3-benzenediol 21, has been used. Here the formed copper complex under acetate buffer exhibits an absorption peak at 520 nm, which is measured photometrically <2003KPU28>. Similarly for photometric determination of iron(ll), a coupling product formed between the diazonium salt of 2-amino-4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine and 8-hydroxyquinoline, or 6-hydroxy-2-(8-hydroxy-7-quinolinyl)azo-4(l//)-pyrimidinone 22, has been used. This reagent forms a blue complex with iron(n) ions with an absorption maximum at 625 nm that does not interfere with the presence of other metals <2003KD95>.
