【 摘 要 】

Mn determination in samples with high Fe content using derivative spectrophotometric method was proposed in this paper, which formaldoxime was used as chromogenic reagent. The derivative method is useful to manipulate spectra data in order to eliminate the noise spectra i.e. Fe and isolate the spectra of elements of interest (Mn). Formaldoxime was chosen since the reagent reacted both to Mn and Fe at the same pH condition. In this paper, the accuracy in Mn determination in the presence of Fe using proposed method would be assessed and discussed. Mn and Fe could be simultaneously determined Mn using zero crossing point of first derivative Fe-formaldoximate spectra at 530 nm for Mn determination, while Fe could be predicted using zero crossing point of second derivative Mn-formaldoximate spectra at 469 nm. Maximum concentration which obeyed the linearity of calibration curve is 2 and 20 mg/L for Mn and Fe, respectively. The error in Mn and Fe prediction depends on ratio of both elements.
