MUSCAT CHEMICAL TAG::
A precipitate is formed immediately upon addition of the carbon disulfide; the mixture becomes warm, and the temperature soon approaches the boiling point. The temperature is maintained just below the boiling point; cooling with ice water may be necessary to keep it there. As the carbon disulfide is added, the mixture soon becomes pasty, then more fluid, and finally pasty again.
Dithizone (Diphenylthiocarbazone) may be used in the following studies:
- In the cloud point preconcentration step, before the trace level quantification of silver by flame atomic absorption spectrometry.
- Preparation of hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). This reagent was useful for the colorimetric detection of heavy metal ions.
- As a zinc chelating ligand for the extraction of zinc in bovine serum.
A lethal dose of cadmium is 2 mg per 1 kg of body weight.
