Cassella AR, Garrigues S, de Campos RC, de la Guardia M: Fourier transform infrared spectrometric determination of Ziram. . Talanta. 2001 Jul 6;54(6):1087-94. A procedure has been developed for vapour-phase Fourier transform infrared determination of Ziram, a dithiocarbamate pesticide. The method is based on the evolution of CS (2), after decomposition of the dithiocarbamate with diluted H (2) SO (4) at 50 degrees C. The CS (2) evolved was swept by a carrier flow of nitrogen to a laboratory-made infrared gas cell of 39 mm pathlength and 490 mul volume. The signals were registered as a function of time. The area of peaks obtained from absorbance measurement in the wavenumber range between 1600 and 1450 cm (-1) were interpolated in a calibration line established from Ziram standards treated in the same way as samples. The method provided an absolute limit of detection of 0.055 mg, a variation coefficient of the order of 6% for an analyte mass of 50 mg, and an analysis time of 3.5 min. |
