title: Analytical properties of 5,5-dimetyl 1,3-cyclohexanedione dithiosemicarbazone monohydrochloride; spectrophotometric determination of chromium(VI) in alloy steels and industrial effluents.
abstract: The analytical properties of 5,5-dimethyl 1,3-cyclohexanedione dithiosemicarbazone monohydrochloride (5,5-DiMe-1,3-CHDT.HCl) are described. The reagent gives pink coloured solutions with chromium(VI) in acetic medium. The maximum colour intensity is observed in 0.5-2.5 pH range. This colour reaction (molar absorptivity, 1.63 x 10(4) 1 mol(-1) cm(-1) at 360 nm) has been used for the spectrophotometric determination of total chromium in alloy steels and industrial effluents.
