Resumo

A sensitive Spectrophotometric method for the determination of germanium based on its ternary complex with phenylfluorone and zephiramine was developed. The complex forms in 0.3–1.5 M HCl medium. Maximum absorbance is obtained for the molar ratio of Ge:PF:zeph = 1:16:600. Molar absorptivity (ϵ) is 1.38 × 105 liters mol−1 cm−1 at λmax = 505 nm. Due to the limited selectivity of the method (Sn, Sb, Nb, Ta, Ti, V, Mo, ClO4−, SO42−, PO43−) before determining trace amounts of germanium, it should be separated, e.g., by extraction. Germanium in galman ore was determined with the developed method (about 1 × 10−3%). Attempts to achieve satisfactory analytical results failed in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium ions or cetylpyridinium ions used as cationic surfactants.
