Polarographic behavior and analysis of Flumetralin in formulations and environmental samples
Abstract
A differential pulse polarographic (DPP) method for the determination of Flumetralin is described based on the reduction of a nitro group a t a dropping mercury electrode (DME) in Briton-Robinson buffers of pH 2.0 to 12.0 using 25% acetone-water mixture as a solvent. Also a cyclic voltammetric (CV) technique has been used to study the behaviour of Flumetralin at a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). The DPP meth od described here has been applied to the analysis of Flumetralin in formulations, grains , soils and spiked water samples. Both standard addtion and calibration methods were used for the a nalytical measurements. The lower detection limit was found to be 1.87x10 -8 M.
