An improved molybdenum blue spectrophotometry using a soluble membrane filter and CaCO(3)-column was proposed for determining arsenic in drinking water supplied from ground water in the presence of phosphate. A 100 mL sample solution containing 0.5 - 10 μg arsenic was passed through a CaCO(3)-column to remove phosphate, arsenate (As(V)). Arsenite (As(III)) which was not retained on the column...

* corresponding author. e-mail: [email protected] The interaction of Mo(VI) and tetrazolium violet (TV) has been examined. The ion-associate formed is extracted into 1,2-dichloroethane. The tetrazolium violet : molybdenum(VI) : 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid ratio (R) is 2 : 1 : 2. The optimum conditions have been established. Beer’s law is obeyed in the range of 0.2–5 μg ml–1 molybdenum(VI...

Background: With the spread of nanotechnology, various nanoparticles with new and emerging properties have been produced and the potential toxic effects of the majority of these particles remains still unknown. The present study was conducted to determine the toxicity of Molybdenum Trioxide nanoparticles in blood and body tissues of male Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty Wistar rats w...

Scheelite is a calcium tungstate mineral (CaWO4) well known in the mining industry as a source of tungsten. This mineral fluoresces under shortwave UV and X-rays excitation with a characteristic blue luminescence centered at about 425 nm. CaWO4-based powder was commonly used as blue phosphor and scintillator (due to high Z of W) [1-3]. The emitted spectrum shifts to yellow in the presence of mo...

Determination of molybdenum(VI) by direct spectrophotometry and simultaneous determination of molybdenum(VI) and titanium(IV) are reported. Molybdenum(VI) gives a golden yellow colour with 2,4dihydroxybenzaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone with a 1:2 metal-reagent stoichiometry at pH 1.5. The complex shows an absorption maximum at 445 nm with molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity of 1.02x1...
