Substoichiometric determination of zinc with potassium ethyl xanthate.
A rapid radiochemical method has been designed for the determination of microgram quantities of zinc, based on the substoichiometric isotope dilution, using potassium ethyl xanthate as the extraction reagent. pH 5.5 in acetate buffers and chloroform as the extractant were found to be suitable for quantitative substoichiometric extraction. The influence of the diverse ions on the extraction was studied. The zinc contents of a medicinal preparation and biological samples were determined by the present method.
