Multivariate models were developed for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of copper (II), nickel (II) and zinc (II) in water with 1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthol as chromogenic reagent in the presence of Triton X-100. To overcome the drawback of spectral interferences, principal component regression (PCR) and partial least square (PLS) multivariate calibration approaches were applied. Performances were validated with several test sets, and their results were then compared. In general, no significant difference in analytical performance between PLS and PCR models. The root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) using three components for $Cu^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ were 0.018, 0.010, 0.011 ppm, respectively. Figures of merit such as sensitivity, analytical sensitivity, limit of detection (LOD) were also estimated. High reliability was achieved when the proposed procedure was applied to simultaneous determination of $Cu^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ in synthetic mixture and tap water.

A new analytical reagent N-benzylisonitrosoacetylacetone imine (H-IAA-N-Bz) has been synthesized and identified its structure by IR, NMR and mass spectra. H-IAA-N-Bz forms a copper chloroform-soluble complex in a basic aqueous solution (pH = 7.0∼10.0). The other optimum conditions for the spectrophotometric study of the copper complex have been determined at 420nm. Beer's law is obeyed below the concentration of 64$\mu$g of copper per 10ml of chloroform. The composition of the copper complex has been found to be $Cu(IAA-N-Bz)_2$ and the over-all stability constant is calculated to be $8.55 {\times} 10^6$. The molar absorption coefficient, $\varepsilon$ of the $Cu-(IAA-N-Bz)_2 $complex is 3500l/$cm{\cdot}mol$.

A Kinetics pathway of oxidation of Cefpodoxime Proxetil by permanganate in alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength has been studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction showed first order kinetics in permanganate ion concentration and an order less than unity in cefpodoxime acid and alkali concentrations. Increasing ionic strength of the medium increase the rate. The oxidation reaction proceeds via an alkali-permanganate species which forms a complex with cefpodoxime acid. The latter decomposes slowly, followed by a fast reaction between a free radical of cefpodoxime acid and another molecule of permanganate to give the products. Investigations of the reaction at different temperatures allowed the determination of activation parameters with respect to the slow step of proposed mechanism and fallows first order kinetics. The proposed mechanism and the derived rate laws are consistent with the observed kinetics.

A procedure for spectrophotometric determination of traces of boron in high-purity trichlorosilane (TCS) is proposed utilizing an adsorptive separation. NaCl is chosen as an Lewis base adsorbent which forms a complex with boron compounds in TCS, and is well dissolved in sulfuric acid-quinalizarin color-forming agent without causing an interference in colorimetric measurements. The proposed adsorptive separation method is free from the formation of silica gel and gas bubbles during the analysis of TCS. The method reveals that the boron concentration in a semiconductor grade TCS is 6.1 ${\mu}$g/l within the standard deviation of ${\pm}$20%. On the other hand, the boron concentration of the purified TCS which is separated from NaCl-boron compounds complex is reduced to 0.2 ${\mu}$g/l, showing the efficient applicability of NaCl to the adsorptive separation. The effectiveness of NaCl for the removal of boron in TCS purification is also described in comparison with other well-known adsorbents.

A rapid, simple and sensitive validated spectrophotometric methods have been described for the assay of neomycin and streptomycin either in pure form or in pharmaceutical formulations. The proposed methods were based on the oxidation of the studied drugs by a known excess of potassium permanganate in acidic medium and estimating the unreacted permanganate with amaranth dye (method A), acid orange II (method B), indigocarmine (method C), and methylene blue (method D), in the same acid medium at a suitable lmax=521, 485, 610 and 664 nm, respectively. Beers law is obeyed in the concentration range of 5-10 and 2-7 mg mL-1 for neomycin and streptomycin, respectively. The apparent molar absorptivity and sandell sensitivity values are in the range 5.47-6.20104, 2.35-2.91105 L mol-1 cm-1 and 7.57-8.59, 5.01-6.2 ng cm-2 for neomycin and streptomycin, respectively. Different variables affecting the reaction were studied and optimized. The proposed methods were applied successfully to the determination of the examined drugs either in a pure or pharmaceutical dosage forms with good accuracy and precision. No interferences were observed from excipients and the results obtained were in good agreement with those obtained using the official methods.

To characterize the colorization patterns of bovine hairs, the melanin contents were quantitatively assayed and compared among cattle breeds. The total melanin levels measured by spectrophotometric assay (A500) from Jeju Black cattle were significantly lower than those from Holstein or Angus with black coat color but significantly higher than those from Hanwoo with yellow coat color or Angus and Holstein with red coat color (P<0.001). The total melanin levels from Hanwoo were significantly lower than those from Red Angus and Red Holstein but significantly higher than those from Hanwoo×Charolais crossbred (P<0.001). The relative ratios of eumelanin to pheomelanin (A650/A500) were 0.382, 0.359, 0.112 and 0.124 in Angus, Jeju Balck cattle, Red Holstein and Hanwoo, respectively. These results show that the spectrophotometric method provides a convenient way to qualitatively characterize hair melanin and may be useful for studying expression of major coat color genes in Hanwoo and Jeju Black cattle.

A procedure for spectrophotometric determination of traces of phosphorus(P) in high-purity trichlorosilane(TCS) is proposed using an adsorptive separation. $PCl_3$, which is a dominant P impurity within TCS, is first oxidized by oxygen to a stable form as $POCl_3$. $AlCl_3$ is selected as an adsorbent which forms a thermally stable complex with $POCl_3$ in TCS and can be well dissolved in aqueous ethanol solution. The proposed adsorptive separation method is free from the formation of silica gel and gas bubbles during the colorimetric analysis of TCS. The method reveals that the P concentration in a semiconductor-grade TCS is 5.32 ${\mi}g/l$ within the standard deviation of ${\pm}$ 17%. On the other hand, the P concentration of the purified TCS which is separated from the $AlCl_3$${\cdot}$$POCl_3$ complex is reduced to be less than 0.15 ${\mi}g/l$, showing the efficient applicability of $AlCl_3$ to the wet chemical analysis. The proposed method is also tested to verify the effectiveness of other well-known adsorbents.

We tried to measure the fixed quantity of $Ni^{2+}$ion among the metals which were eluted by distilled water from the Fly Ash Leach Liquor(FALL) with a spectrophotometric method. In addition, we researched absorbance values which had different contained quantity of $V^{3+}$ion in contrast with $Ni^{2+}$ion ppm to find out the influence of the $V^{3+}$ion existed in the FALL on the spectrophotometric fixed quantity of $Ni^{2+}$ion. As a result, when $V^{3+}$ ion has below 50% of amount of $Ni^{2+}$ion, the fixed quantity of $Ni^{2+}$ion among the FALL was able to be confirmed by spectrophotometry.

The reaction between iron(III) and Xylenol Orange (XO or $H_6A$) has been investigated spectrophotometrically. It has been established that iron (III) and XO form two complexes with compositions iron(III) : XO = 2 : 1 and 1 : 1. The 2 : 1 complex is stable in acidic medium containing excess of iron, and 1 : 1 complex is stable in slightly acidic medium containing excess of XO. The absorption maxima are at 590 nm (2 : 1) and 500 nm (1 : 1), the molar absorptivities being $3.18{\pm}0.04{\times}10^4,\;1.32{\pm}0.03{\times}10^4$respectively. The stability constants of two complexes studied by varying pH are $loglog{\beta}_{21}=18.69{\pm}0.03,\;log{\beta}_{212}=42.08{\pm}0.09,\;log{\beta}_{11}=4.17{\pm}0.04,\;and\;log{\beta}_{113}=34.47{\pm}0.07.$

Spectrophotometric determination of cobalt by flow injection method is described. 2-(5-Bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-(N-propyl-N-sulfopropylamino) aniline rapidly forms a water-soluble complex with cobalt in $NH_3-NH_4Cl$ buffer solution at pH 10.5. The absorption maxima of this complex is at 545 nm with molar absorptivity of $58000L\;mol^{-1}\;cm^{-1}$. The calibration curve of cobalt is linear over the range of 0.1 to 0.6ppm and the detection limit is 25ppb. The relative standard deviation is ${\pm}0.72%$ for 0.5ppm and the sampling rate is $60samples\;hr^{-1}$. The interfering effect of some cations and anions was investigated. Ni(II), Cu(II), Fe(III) and $CN^-$ interfered severely. The interfering effect of these matallic ions could be decreased by adding $1.0{\times}10^{-3}M$ EDTA solution to the carrier stream.
