A new coupled cloud point extraction (CPE) was developed as prompt, easy and economical preconcentration technique for spectrophotometric determination of tiny amounts of Fe 3+ and Hg 2+ in real samples. A modern thiazolylazo ligand [methyl phenyl thiazolyl azo]-3-methyl-4-methoxy-2-naphthol (MPTAN) was done for the CPE method in the preconcentration of Fe 3+ and Hg 2+ as an earlier step to its characterization by UV-VIS spectrophotometry. The analytical manner includes the formation of under study metals complex with new ligand and quantitatively extracted to the Cloud point layer (CPL) of TritonX-100 after heating. The concentration of MPTAN, metals, pH, thermodynamic data and volume of surfactant was optimized. The investigation of stoichiometry has the ratio of metal to ligand of 1:1. Under finest settings and conditions, the calibration curve was found to be linear in the concentration range of two ions (0.05-10) ppm and the limit of detection for Fe 3+ and Hg 2+ are (0.016 and 0.041) ppm respectively. The suggested CPE has an excellent methodology for characterization of trace metal ions in surrounding samples with a complex matrix as in soils, water, vegetable, meats, and fruits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
