    A diazo reagent prepared by diazotization of sulfanilamide was applied to the rapid determination of total bilirubin in serum as azobilirubin with colorimetry, and the condition of determination was optimized.
    The absorption maximum of the colored solution obtained by the recommended standard procedure was at 545mμ. The method has advantages in faster color development and higher absorbance than Evelyn-Malloy's method, which uses the diazo reagent prepared by diazotization of sulfanilic acid and is now in general use in clinical laboratories.

    Nickel (II) was found to be extracted with α-benzoinoxime into chloroform from a slightly alkaline aqueous solution showing an absorption in the near ultraviolet region and it was applied to the determination of traces of nickel. A general procedure established is as follows.
    To a solution containing less than 50 μg of nickel add an alcoholic solution of α-benzoinoxime, adjust the pH to about 9 with borate buffer, extract nickel-(II) as an α-benzoinoxime complex into chloroform, and obtain the absorbance of the organic phase at 330 mμ.
    Nickel (II) is extracted quantitatively with α-benzoinoxime at pH 8.210.7 into chloroform, and gives an absorption spectrum in near ultraviolet region. The complex extracted has a composition of 1 to 2 (metal to ligand). Beer's law is obeyed, the molar extinction coefficient at 330 mμ being 7.0 × 103. Copper (II), cobalt (II), manganese (II), zinc (II), lead(II), and cadmium (II) interfere with the determination, but the interference from the last four elements can be eliminated by masking them as tartrate.
    The method established was applied successfully to the determination of traces of nickel in high purity beryllium oxide by combining it with an ion exchange separation method.

    In the previous paper, the absorbance ratio method was developed and was applied to quantitative determination of various drugs, reagents and food additives.
    In this paper, factors influencing on the precision and accuracy of determination in this method were investigated to keep the deviation of the assay values within 0.1%. As the results, it was found that, as for the absorbance measurements(Table I), |dr/dx|value, differentiation of the absorbance ratio by the reciprocal of neutralization grade, must be more than 35, and as for the addition of volumetric standard solution (Table II), the determination is carried out precisely in case a whole pipet is used. In the determination of quinine ethylcarbonate and aminopyrine using this method, the influences of wavelength(Table III), of indicator lot (Tables VIII and XIII), of indicator concentration (Table IX), of sample concentration (Table X)and of time exposed (Table XI) on the assay value are negligible, and the influence of solvent concentration (Tables IV and V)is also negligible provided the solvent concentration is exactly adjusted. The lnfluence of temperature (Tables VI, VII and XII and Fig.1) is also negligible in case suitable range of x values is used. lf the assay value is calibrated for temperature by formula (1) and Fig. 1, the other range of x values can also be used. The similar results were obtained on the other substances tested.
    It was confirmed from the results of several investigations (Tables XIV, XV and XVI)that the x-r working curves are accurately prepared.
    As reported in the previous paper, the standard deviation (n=6) for all substances tested were within 0.1%2).

    In the presence of alkali hydroxide, 1-(2-phenyl-2-cyclohexyl 1, 3-oxolan-4-methyl)-1-methyl piperidium iodide(I) reacted with potassium β-naphthoquinone sulfonate solution. The chloroform extract of the reaction product had an absorption maximum at 466 mμ and was stable for 24 hours. The relation between the absorbance at this wavelength and the concentration of (I) from 5μg/ml to 100μg/ml was linear and quantitative determination of (I) was possible. This substance in aqueous solution was very stable against heat at pH 3.5. Ultraviolet rays gave only slight decrease of absorbance when the concentration of (I) was greater than 0.2%.

    Chromazurol S reacts with thorium to form a blue association complex in aqueous pyridine in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTMAC). The absorption maximum at 631mμ of the complex is almost independent on reagent concentration and pH of the solution, and the agbsorbance is nearly constant at pH 5.66.1. The sensitivity is very high, the molar absorptivity being 1.74×105 for 0.78μg Th/ml solution. Beer's law is not obeyed, but calibration line is linear for 0.150.8μg/ml Th. The complex is assumed to have 1:4 (Th: CAS) composition. V, Mo, Zr, W, Cu, Au, Cr, U, As, Sn, Ga, Bi, Hf, Ti, Al, Be, and Fe interfere seriously.
    The recommended procedure for obtaining calibration line is as follows. To a solution containing 440μg Th in a 100ml beaker is added 1.7 ml of 2M nitric acid, and it is made to about 25ml with water. One milliliter of 0.5% CTMAC is added and agitated. Five milliliters of 0.02% CAS is added quietly by dipping the tip of a pipet into the liquid on the vessel wall, and then similarly 5ml of 4M pyridine. After allowing to stand for 5min., the solution is transferred into a volumetric flask and made up to 50ml with water. The absorbance at 631mμ is measured after 10min. The pH of the final solution is 5.9.

    Lead sulfate was rapidly separated with minimized loss by the use of centrifuging technique.
    Two milliliters of sample solution containing 120 mg of lead was taken in a centrifugal tube. To it were added 0.5 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid and a few drops of non-ionic detergent, and the mixture was centrifuged at a speed of 4000 rpm. After washing three times with ammonium sulfate solution (or diluted sulfuric acid) the precipitate was dissolved in ammonium acetate solution, and then the lead was titrated with EDTA by use of Xylenol Orange indicator and acetate buffer solution.
    A shaker with eccentric motion was very useful in every procedure. It was especially effective for preventing bumping during the rapid evaporation of hydrochloric or nitric acid under diminished pressure. Co-precipitation of nickel or mercury (II) could be avoided by a re-precipitation, but bismuth (III) precipitated during evaporation and interfered with the titration of lead.

    4-(2-Pyridylazo)-resorcin (PAR) reacts with manganese to form a water soluble red complex. The complex has an absorption maximum at 500 mμ and the absorbance is constant over the pH range from 9.7 to 10.7. The molar extinction coefficient of the complex is found to be 7.8×104.
    Majority of interfering metals in service water can be masked in the following succesive procedure : (1)Preliminary addition of L-ascorbic acid, thiourea, potassium sodium tartrate and ammonium fluoride to the sample solution. (2) Addition of PAR and ammonium buffer solution (pH=10). (3) Addition of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate and potassium cyanide after the development of color due to the formation of PAR complexes of manganese, iron(II), cobalt and nickel. The addition of EDTA, afterwords, leads to the selective decomposition of the manganese-PAR complex so that manganese can be determined by the decrease of absorbance. The sensitivity of the determination is claimed to be 0.00077μg Mn/cm2. This is seven times as high as that of the formaldoxime method.
    The PAR method proposed in this paper can be applied to the determination of trace amounts of manganese in service water and in industrial water.

    The relations between the vaporized amounts, vaporization behavior and spectral line intensity of europium in graphite powder have been examined with graphite electrodes under varying arc discharge conditions and buffer concentrations.
    Standard samples were prepared with highly purified graphite powder, 216 ppm of europium as europium oxide and various concentration of sodium fluoride as a spectrographic buffer substance. The element was excited by d. c. arc discharge, and the concentration of europium remaining in graphite powder after the discharge was measured by the neutron activation analysis.
    It was revealed that the vaporized amounts were increased and the temperature of anode was raised with an increase of the arc current. The spectral line intensity of Eu 2813.9Ådepended on the vaporized amounts in the argon atmosphere. Under the conditions involving arc current 4.95.0A, electrode gap 3 mm, discharge time 60 sec., and NaF concentration 1.02.0%, the vaporized amounts were 7.78×10-8g/mg sample at the anode crater in the air and 3.89×10-8g/mg sample in argon atmosphere. Under the same anode temperature, the vaporized amounts behavior of europium showed little difference in the air and in argon atmosphere, but the line intensity of Eu 2813.9Å was higher in the latter.
    In spite of the difference in boiling point of europium and sodium, the vaporization behaviors of the two elements in a spectrographic buffer of sodium fluoride were closely related. The vaporized amounts of europium in the sample without NaF did not depend on the discharge time, both in the air and in argon atmosphere.

    Analytical conditions for the potentiometric determination of hypophosphite and phosphite in their mixture have been optimized. Hypophosphite is oxidized to phosphate through phosphite by vanadate in presence of silver salt, but phosphite is not oxidized to phosphate in absence of silver. Hypophosphite alone is determined by adding an excess of 0.1N solution of ammonium vanadate to a sample solution containing sulfuric acid followed by boiling for 23 min., and titrating the remaining vanadate with 0.1N Mohr's salt. Simultaneously, 2 ml of 5% silver sulfate solution in concentrated sulfuric acid and a definite excess of 0.1N vanadate solution were added to an equal volume of the sample solution, and boiled for 23 min. The sum of hypophosphite and phosphite is obtained by titrating unreacted vanadate with 0.1N Mohr's salt.

    From 0.5 to 1.0g of sample was decomposed with mixture of HF and HNO3. After having been converted to the chlorides, the residue was dissolved into 60 ml of 8N HCl and the solution was shaken with isopropyl ether to remove iron(III). The solution was evaporated to dryness and the residue was again dissolved in 20 ml of water. Heavy metals including lead in the solution were extracted into carbon tetrachloride as dithizonates from which only lead was stripped into 20ml of 0.02N HCl. The solution was subjected to atomic absorption measurement.
    The apparatus used was Hitachi Spectrophotometer 139 with a long path flame adaptor of Vycor tube (0.9cm inside diameter, 40 cm long) and Beckman burner (4020) for air-hydrogen flame.
    The spectrum line employed was 2170Å
    The absorbance was sensitive to the gas pressures and 1.10kg/cm2 for air and 0.10kg/cm2 for H2 were decided as optima. No enhancement of the absorbance was found with organic solvents tested. Apparent absorption was examined with solutions of major components of the silicates.
    The working curve from 0.1 to 1.0 ppm was almost straight and the sensitivity was 0.008 ppm, about 100 times more sensitive than those with a slot burner. Noise in measurements was much smaller with 0.02N HCl solution than with organic solvents.
    The accuracy and recovery by the use of the NBS standards and various kinds of standard rock samples were satisfactory for practical purposes.
    The results obtained agreed well with those by other methods.

    A method for the alternating current polarographic determination of lead in commercial soft solder after dissolving the sample in acetylacetone was established. Calibrating solutions can be prepared by dissolving commercially available lead metal of special grade (purity 99.999%) in acetylacetone.
    After passing nitrogen gas for 15 min., the alternating current polarogram from 0.0 to -0.7 volt vs. mercury pool anode is recorded, and lead is determined by referring to a calibration curve.
    The method is rapid and has accuracies nearly comparable to those attained by the conventional ashing method followed by JIS.

    In the determination of manganese by the persulfate oxidation-volumetry without an addition of sodium chloride, it is a merit to be titrated with arsenite solution to a clear end point. But it has been reported that manganese (VII) is not completely reduced to manganese (II) by sodium arsenite, and it is necessary to standardize the sodium arsenite solution against the standard steels that have approximately the same manganese contents as samples to be analyzed.
    This treatment is inconvenient for analysis of lots of samples that have different amounts of manganese. By the investigation with an attempt to avoide the above cumbersome treatment, a linear correlation was found between the amounts of manganese and the titration volumes of sodium arsenite solution.
    Manganese contents were thus calculated from either regression equation or a linear regression line with consistently good results agreeing with those by JIS absorptiometry.

    A method for determining traces of fluoride in tantalum metal powder using pyrolytic separation and alizarin complexone extraction spectrophotometry has been established.
    A half gram of sample is mixed with 1 g of uranium oxide (U3O8) by grinding, and the mixture is transferred into a porcelain boat. Pyrolysis is carried out under a stream of moist nitrogen (for 10 minutes) followed by moist oxygen (for 5 minutes) in a fused silica combustion tube (about 1100°C).
    The volatilized fluoride is absorbed in 20ml of dilute sodium hydroxide solution. This solution is taken into a separatory funnel, and added with 20ml of combined lanthanum-alizarin complexone reagent solution.
    Extraction is made with 10ml of 5vol% N, N-diethylaniline in iso-amyl alcohol by shaking for 3 minutes, and the two layers are allowed to separate by standing. After the drainage of the aqueous layer, the organic layer is washed with 50ml of acetate buffer solution. The absorbance of the organic layer is measured at 580 mμ using a reagent blank as a reference.

    The concentration factor of a trace element with respect to a matrix element (usually 10 to 20 in the ion flotation technique) is much improved by the use of ethanol and multistage operation. Nitrogen is bubbled through a 200ml solution (pH 3 to 13) containing a trace element (Ag, Au, Co, Cu, Fe. 0.1 to 1.0 μg), a matrix element (Mg, Na, Zn. 0.5 to 3 g), a complexing agent (10-4M), benzalkonium chloride (10 ppm) and ethanol (4%), until the froth on the surface has ceased to grow. The froth containing the concentrated trace element is then taken out, destroyed by addition of 8 ml of ethanol, diluted to 200ml with water, and the flotation is repeated. The desired trace elements can be concentrated in greater than 90% yields with concentration factors of 30, 103 and 3×104 for single-, two- and three-stage separations, respectively. The time required for each stage is 8 to 10 min.

Pellet sample was burnt as it was, and the powdered sample was after being pressed into tablets. Calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium in resin were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry by using internal standard method. The contents of sodium and potassium were not much different among various resins (Na 210150 ppm, K 200125 ppm), but calcium and magnesiumn contents showed marked differences. The reproducibility of the results in five determinations on each element was not good. The maximum error was 50ppm, whereby the standard deviation was 12%.

    Previous investigations have shown that uranium (IV) can be determined very sensitively with Arsenazo III in 6 to 7M hydrochloric acid solutions and that uranium (VI) can be determined sensitively with the same reagent at pH 2. The purpose of the present work was to establish the empirical formula of the uranium (VI and IV) -Arsenazo III complexes under the analytically useful conditions.
    Results of the continuous variation (s) method and the polarographic method indicate that at pH 1.1 to 3.4 the complex is formed by one mole of uranium (VI) reacting with one mole of Arsenazo III. A result of the continuous variation (s) method indicates that in about 6 M hydrochloric acid solution the complex is formed by one mole of uranium (IV) reacting with two moles of Arsenazo III.

    A new method for the detection of alpha radionuclides on the electromigrated paper has been proposed. The method is based on the alpha particle track detector with celluloid films. Alpha irradiated films are etched in NaOH solution and are compared with the autoradiographs on X-ray films, whereby the alpha nuclides could be easily distinguished from the beta and gamma nuclides. The authors could confirm the half life of the nuclide from measurements of the number of alpha tracks. The method is applicable to the chemical investigation of alpha nuclides, such as actinide elements.
