Rotating Disk Sorptive Extraction of Cu-Bisdiethyldithiocarbamate Complex from Water and Its Application to Solid Phase Spectrophotometric Quantification;Notes
This study demonstrates the first use of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) immobilized on a rotating disk for the extraction of copper from aqueous matrices and its subsequent direct determination by solid phase UV-Visible spectrophotometry. To accomplish the solid-phase extraction and the direct solvent-free spectrophotometric measurement, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (NaDDTC) was used as an analytical reagent to form the uncharged chromophore complex Cu(DDTC)2, which absorbs at 432 nm.
