Abstract: | We have developed a cost-effective and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of arsenic at trace level
using a new reagent, hexamethylene ammonium-hexamethylenedithiocarbamate (HMA-HMDTC). Here we show that arsenic reacts with
HMA-HMDTC in acidic conditions to yield the As(HMDTC)3 complex. We studied the Beer’s law at 256 nm, which showed linearity over the concentration range 0.2–1.0 μg/mL of arsenic.
We have shown that molar absorptivity, Sandell’s sensitivity and the detection limit of the method are 6.06 × 104 L/mol cm, 0.0012 μg/cm2 and 0.060 μg/mL, respectively. We have applied this new method to the determination of arsenic in drinking water. |
