Abstract:
A new spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amount of silicon was developed. It is based on the fact that Si(Ⅳ) inhibits discoloration of the ion-association complex of cetyltrimethylammonium-curcumin by H2O2 in the NH3-NH4Cl buffer medium. The apparent molar absorption coefficient ε500=5.70×105 L*mol-1*cm-1. The Beer′s law is obeyed in the range of 0.4~3.6 μg/L with a linear regression equation ΔA=2.23×10-4+0.02017CSi(μg/L),r=0.9999. The determination limit is 2.0×10-8 g/L. The method has been used for the determination of silicon in water and hair samples with satisfactory results.
