Özet

© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Antimony (Sb) is highly hazardous to human health even in minute concentration. Therefore, its accurate and precise determination in the real environmental samples is of immense importance. In this work for the first time, UV–Vis spectrophotometric method was developed for the quantification of Sb(III) from water samples using supramolecular solvent (undecanol-tetrahydrofuran)–based extraction. The maximum absorption wavelength for antomony-diathizone complex was found to be 590 nm having molar absorptivity of 3.1 × 104 L.mol.cm−1. Factors affecting extraction efficiency like solution sample volume, amount of chelating agent, pH, matrix effect, and type and volume of supramolecular solvent were determined and optimized. Analytical parameters like limit of detection (0.19 µg L−1), limit of quantification (0.62 µg L−1), pre-concentration factor (15), enhancement factor (15), and relative standard deviation for 8 successive analysis (0.8%) were calculated under optimized experimental conditions. The method was applied to real water samples like tap water of laboratory, waste water from Kohat hospitals, and dam water (Tanda dam Kohat) with quantitative addition recovery (94–100%).
