MEKC determination of vanadium from mineral ore and crude petroleum oil samples using precapillary chelation with bis(salicylaldehyde)tetramethyl-ethylenediimine.

An analytical procedure has been developed for the separation of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Pd(II), Th(IV), V(IV), and determination of Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and V(IV) by MEKC after chelation with bis(salicylaldehyde)tetramethylethylenediimine (H(2)SA(2)Ten). Uncoated fused silica capillary was used with an applied voltage of 30 kV with photo-diode array detection at 228 nm. SDS was added as micellar medium at pH 8.
