Abstract

Abstract A rapid method for the analysis of dip washes is described which eliminates the usual solvent extraction procedure. The dip wash is initially diluted with acetone and then with petroleum ether. The diluted dip wash is analyzed by gasliquid chromatography, using an alkali ionization detector sensitive to phosphorus compounds. The method was applied to the determination of dioxathion (2,3-ρ-dioxanedithiol S,S-bis(O,O-diethyl phosphorodithioate)), and quintiofos (O-ethyl O-8-quinolyl phenylphosphonothioate) dip washes. Average recoveries from fouled dip washes were 100 and 104%. GLC of these compounds with an internal standard is described, which improves the precision of the method to ±2%.
