A novel method is proposed for the solvent extraction of niobium(V). A 0.1M solution of Aliquat 336S in xylene quantitatively extracts microgram quantities of niobium(V) from 0.01M ascorbic acid at pH 3.5-6.5. Niobium from the organic phase is stripped with 0.5M nitric acid and determined spectrophotometrically in the aqueous phase as its complex with TAR. The method permits separation of niobium not only from tantalum(V) but also from vanadium(IV), titanium(IV), zirconium(IV), thorium(IV), chromium(III), molybdenum(VI), uranium(VI), iron(III), etc. Niobium from stainless steel was determined with a precision of 0.42%.

High-oxidation niobium was used for the first time in manganese dioxide cation doping to reduce the diffusion resistance of zinc ions, in order to improve its kinetic and electrochemical properties. The results show that using a simple hydrothermal process, all niobium ions were doped into the manganese dioxide lattice. As niobium(v) was incorporated into the [2 × 2] tunnel of α-MnO, it induced manganese vacancies, which reduced the diffusion resistance of Zn in manganese dioxide, improving the migration kinetics.

The critical metals niobium (Nb) and tantalum (Ta) coexist in mineral sources, requiring a separation step to purify the elements from one another. The industrial separation process by solvent extraction uses stoichiometric hydrofluoric acid to manifest differences in the speciation of these otherwise chemically similar elements. The identification of alternative methods to separate Nb/Ta is desirable for fluoride waste reduction.

The efficiency of niobium(V) oxide as a sorbent phase for solid phase microextraction (SPME) was investigated. The thin glass-ceramic rod was coated with niobium(V) oxide using chemical vapor deposition and Nb(2)O(5) as a chemical precursor. Optimum conditions for the preparation and conditioning of the fibers are presented.

In this study a new method for chromium speciation in water using solid phase extraction coupled to a flow injection system and flame atomic absorption spectrometry was developed. The adsorption behavior of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) on Nb2O5-SiO2 allowed the selective separation of Cr(III) from Cr(VI) in the pH range of 6-9. Thus, a method for Cr(III) preconcentration and extraction using Nb2O5-SiO2 was developed.

In this study a new method for Pb determination in water using solid phase extraction coupled to a flow injection system and flame atomic absorption spectrometry was developed. The sorbent used for Pb preconcentration and extraction was silica gel chemically modified with niobium(V) oxide. Flow and chemical variables of the system were optimized through a multivariate procedure.
