Abstract

The study of the optimum condition for the chromium (VI) ion extraction from soil sample was carried out using the ultrasonic supported solvent extraction techniques. 1,5-Diphenylcarbazide was used as ligand to form the complexes with the extracted Cr (VI) ion. UV-Visible spectroscopy techniques were used to determine these complexes with wavelength at 550 nm. The extraction factors which were type of solvents, time, temperature, volume of solvent, weight of soil and concentration of NaCl were evaluated. Within this optimum condition, it was found that the linearity range was 0.05 - 2.0 mg/L with R2 value was 0.9980. The limit of detection and the limit of quantification were 0.6 and 1.8 µg/g respectively. The precision of this experiment was 2.72 - 4.99 %RSD (n=6).
