Abstract.

 This work proposes a new extraction method for chromium based on the two-phase aqueous system isopropyl alcohol-ammonium sulfate-ammonium thiocyanate (i-PrOH-(NH4)2SO4-NH4SCN), and the related experimental conditions are optimized. The results show that chromium (III) can be quantitatively extracted under the selected conditions: 4 mL of i-PrOH, 200 μL of 2 mol/L sulfuric acid, 1 mL of 4 mol/L NH4SCN and 3 mL of saturated (NH4)2SO4 solution (Vtotal=10 mL). Application of the proposed method to speciation analysis of plasma chromium was also investigated and satisfactory results were obtained.
