The Determination of Inorganic Sulphate in Sodium Lauryl Sulphate
The official method for the determination of inorganic sulphate in sodium lauryl sulphate is time‐consuming. Separation of organic and inorganic sulphate via the lead salts followed by complexometry leads to a rapid and convenient method with readily reproducible results.
The use of benzidine dihydrochloride for sulfate determinations : A direct conductometric titration method
Abstract Sulfate in small quantities may be determined by direct conductometric titration with standard benzidine dihydrochloride solution within a maximum error of less than one percent. Optimum conditions have been determined for the procedure.
Interaction of Diclofop-Methyl and MCPA on Wild Oats (Avena fatua)
Diclofop-methyl {methyl 2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy] propanoate} loses part of its activity on wild oats (Avena fatua L.) when it is applied in combination with ester or amine formulations of MCPA {[4-chloro-o-tolyl)oxy] acetic acid.} Uptake of diclofop-methyl is reduced in the presence of commercial formulations of MCPA, particularly amine formulations, which are only partly compatible with the diclofop-methyl formulation. With added MCPA, regardless of formulation, hydrolysis of diclofop-methyl to the acid diclofop is slowed down, both in intact wild oat plants and in a crude leaf extract. At the same time, conversion of any acid formed to inactive conjugates is accelerated in the presence of MCPA. It is concluded that the loss of activity of diclofop-methyl by MCPA can be accounted for by the effects of MCPA on uptake and metabolic conversion of diclofop-methyl.
