[Rapid Determination of Dodecylmorpholine in Aqueous Solutions with UV-Vis Spectrophotometry].

A rapid UV-Vis spectrophotometric method was proposed to determine the concentration of DMP in aqueous solutions. The linear concentration range of DMP solution at the range of 250～400 nm is 0.5～70 mmol·L(-1). At 275 nm, the linear fitting equation is A=0.030 7c+0.133 0 with a correlation of 0.980 9. The detection limitation is 9.46×10-5 mmol·L-1, the RSD (n=6) of the method were at the range of 0.100%～0.612%. The recovery ratio for salt solutions sample is 95%～104%. Temperature, pH, and coexisting K(+), Na(+), Mg(2+), Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), SO(2-)(4) ions do not affect the detection. The coexisting CO(2-)(3) and HCO(-)(3) ions can be eliminated with acidification. The results showed that the proposed method is simple in pretreatment process and has high accuracy and precision. It is a quick measurement method of DMP concentration in water solution, and can be used to measure DMP concentration in reverse flotation tail liquid and reverse flotation material pulp.

[Determination of Methyl Orange and Ethyl Orange in Two-Component Solution by Dual Wavelength Spectrophotometry].

The high similarity of MO and EO made it difficult to measure concentration of MOD and EOD. In this paper, dual wavelength spectrophotometry was used to determinate the concentration of MOD and EOD, which was proved to be fast and accrate. 429.00 nm and 469.50 nm were selected as detemination wavelengthes at pH 12. And the influences of Na+ and Cl- on determination of MOD and EOD were surveyed. The standard equations were A429 = 0.003 47 + 0.061 cm + 0.056 46 C(E) and A469.50 = 0.002 8 + 0.074 37 cm + 0.083 94 c(E) . Recovery of standard additions of MOD and EOD were larger than 95%, and relative standard deviation of standard equations were less than 2%. The addition of NaCl has little effect on recovery of standard additions and relative standard deviation of this method.

[Effect of octadecyl amine (ODA) on the complex titration of magnesium and calcium ions studied with UV-visible spectrophotometry].

The effect of flotation agent octadecyl amine (ODA) on the complex titration of both magnesium and calcium ions was studied with two groups of comparative experiments: (1) Before titration, the suspension was not filtered. In this case, ODA had a great effect on the complex titration of both magnesium and calcium ions. The titration end-point of magnesium ions was difficult to be determined. Although the titration end-point of calcium ions could be determined, there was an obvious experimental error compared with the blank solution without ODA. These results were confirmed by the UV-Visible spectrum analyses of the related solutions. (2) Before titration, the suspension was filtered. In this case, the influence of ODA on the complex titration of both magnesium and calcium ions could be removed. UV-Visible spectrum studies showed that, in this case, both the spectra and time scanning curves of the tested solutions were similar to those of the blank solutions.

[Determination of rubidium and cesium in chloride type oilfield water by flame atomic absorption spectrometry].

Flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) was applied to the determination of rubidium and cesium in chloride type oilfield water by considering the interferences of the coexistent K+, Na+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ ions, Standard curve method and standard addition method were compared in the determination of rubidium and cesium in the simulated oilfield water and the real oilfield water from the Nanyishan region in Qaidam Basin. Although rubidium and cesium have similar physical-chemical properties, they present different characters during their analyses using the FAAS technique. When the standard addition method was used for the determination of rubidium and cesium in the simulated oilfield water, the results of rubidium were very poor, whereas the results of cesium were satisfactory. When the standard curve method was used for the determination of rubidium and cesium in the simulated oilfield water, the results of both rubidium and cesium were satisfactory within the linear ranges of the standard curves. For the real oilfield water, standard addition method is also only applicable for the determination of cesium with a recovery ranging from 90% to 110%. While standard curve method is applicable for the determination of both rubidium and cesium with a recovery ranging from 90% to 110%.

[Determination of lithium in the oil field water by flame atomic absorption spectrometry].

Flame atomic absorption spectrometry was applied to the determination of micro amount of lithium in the oil field water of certain area. In order to determine which method is more appropriate for the determination of lithium content in the oil field water, standard curve method and standard addition method were compared. The effects of dilution, coexistent ions, and deionizers on the determination were studied. For the determination of lithium content in the same diluted oil field water samples, there exist obvious differences between the results obtained from standard addition method and standard curve method. Standard addition method gives results with a larger error, whereas standard curve method gives more accurate results. It is difficult to eliminate the interferences when the standard addition method is used. The standard curve method is found to be more suitable for the determination of micro amount of lithium in the oil field water for its accuracy, simplicity, and feasibility. When the standard curve method is used, both the determined lithium concentration and the recovery change with the dilution extent of the oil field water. In order to get an accurate result, the oil field water sample should be diluted to 1/200 or less. In this case, the recovery by standard addition method ranges from 94.3% to 96.9%. When sodium phosphate or sodium chloride is used as the deionizer, the recovery by standard addition method ranges from 94.6% to 98.6%, or from 94.2% to 96.3%. In the determination of lithium content in oil field water, there are larger experimental errors without the addition of any deionizer. When the concentration of coexistent ions is within an allowed range, the addition of sodium phosphate as a deionizer can eliminate the interferences of the coexistent ions with the determination of the lithium content. If sodium chloride is used as a deionizer, a more accurate result can be obtained when the sodium content in the samples is near the sodium content in the standard solutions. In general, under suitable experimental conditions, sodium chloride can be used as the deionizer for the determination of lithium content in the oil field water.
