Abstract
Abstract
The microdetermination of dithiocarbamate fungicide residues as methyl xanthate using second-derivative UV spectrometry is described. The residue analysis is based on a hot-acid decomposition, scrubbing the evolved CS2 with lead acetate and concentrated H2SO4, and absorbing the CS2 in methanolic KOH. The absorbance of the xanthate system (conventional method) and the height of the negative peak at 302 nm (second-derivative method) are used to quantitate the CS2. The molar absorptivity of the xanthate system within the range of 0.3–2.4 μg CS2/mL where Beer’s law is obeyed, was 1.70 × 104 L mol-1 cm-1. The derivative procedure was more selective and sensitive to CS2 than the classical method. The calibration graph of the derivative procedure was rectilinear from 0.1–1.1 μg/mL of CS2. The coefficient of variation for the determination (n = 10) of a 0.28 (μg/mL standard of CS2 was 2.6%. The detection limit for CS2 was 0.08 μg/mL. The second-derivative procedure was applied to the residue analysis of thiram on tomatoes.
