Abstract Method 26.026–26.030 was modified for the analysis of cocoa beans for aflatoxins by inclusion of 3% silver nitrate solution in the extraction solvent mixture. Recoveries of aflatoxins and ochratoxin A added at levels of 5–45 and 20–300 μg/kg, respectively, were satisfactory.

1. The importance of a rapid and simple test for the diagnosis of mastitis in cows is a question which has attracted considerable attention on the part of many workers. One such test based on the determination of chlorine in milk by a rapid method has been advocated recently by Rosell.2. The authors of this paper have made a careful examination of this method and compared the results obtained on samples of milk with those given by other methods known to yield reliable and reasonably accurate results.3. The direct titration of chlorine in milk with silver nitrate solution, without the removal of proteins, invariably gives high results, and, moreover, a satisfactory end-point is difficult to obtain.

Abstract In order to determine free sulfur in substances like rubber and antimony sulfide, extraction is carried out with a solvent, preferably acetone. After separation from the solvent, the extracted sulfur is converted into the sulfate and weighed as barium sulfate. With the object of making this determination, easier and simpler, it occurred to the author to determine the sulfur in the acetone extract volumetrically, instead of gravimetrically, by utilizing the observed fact that potassium thiocyanate is formed when the acetone extract is boiled with potassium cyanide. Experimental investigation of this subject showed that in the presence of an excess of potassium cyanide, conversion of the sulfur into potassium thiocyanate is quantitative, so that after evaporation of the solvent a mixture of potassium cyanide and potassium thiocyanate remains behind. To determine the potassium thiocyanate in the aqueous solution of these two salts, the method of Schulek (cf. Z. anal. Chem., 65, 433 (1924–25)) was used, which is based on the decomposition of potassium cyanide by formaldehyde. Instead, however, of adding an excess of titrated silver nitrate solution, as recommended by Schulek, and then determining the excess silver by the Volhard method, the titration was carried out directly with the silver nitrate solution, using iron nitrate as indicator, until the blood-red color of ferric thiocyanate had disappeared. In the following table are given the results of determinations by this procedure.

Abstract The limit of quantity of potassium cyanide was determined as regards the interference with the end point of the titration of potassium thiocyanate with silver nitrate solution. Acetone was found to be a suitable solvent for the separation of potassium cyanide from potassium thiocyanate. A new modified method was proposed for the determination of true free sulfur in vulcanized rubber, by the use of acetone to remove the cyanide which renders obscure the end point of the titration of thiocyanate with silver nitrate solution. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of pure sulfur and some rubber goods, and was ascertained to be accurate and easy to carry out, requiring no special apparatus.

Conditions were found for the determination of 6-mercaptopurine (I) and 6-thioguanine (II) by TAST polarography, differential pulse polarography and fast-scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. The detection limits were 10-6, 8 . 10-8, and 6 . 10-8 mol l-1, respectively. A further lowering of the detection limit to 2 . 10-8 mol l-1 was attained by preliminary accumulation of the determined substances at the surface of a hanging mercury drop.

Optimum conditions were found for the determination of 4-nitrobiphenyl by fast scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in the concentration range 1 . 10-5 to 2 . 10-7 mol l-1. A further increase in sensitivity was attained by adsorptive accumulation of this substance on the surface of the working electrode, permitting determination in the concentration range (2 – 10) . 10-8 mol l-1 with one minute accumulation of the substance in unstirred solution or (2 – 10) . 10-9 mol l-1 with three-minute accumulation in stirred solution. Linear scan voltammetry can be used to determine 4-nitrobiphenyl in the concentration range (2 – 10) . 10-9 mol l-1 with five-minute accumulation in stirred solution, with the advantage of a smoother baseline and smaller interference from substances that yield only tensametric peaks.
