SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF MOLYBDENUM ION WITH ALIZARIN RED S REAGENT
Abstract
The determination of molybdenum(VI) ions in environmental samples is an important analytical task. In this study, a spectrophotometric method for the determination of molybdenum(VI) ions is proposed. Alizarin Red S was selected as a sensitive analytical reagent, and the reflectance spectra of the molybdenum(VI)–Alizarin Red S system were recorded on an EMC-30PC-UV-1800 Spectrophotometer.
