Abstract
A polarographic study was carried out of the reduction processes of diethyl and dibutyl phthalate in micellar solutions with the cationic surfactant Hyamine 1622, and in an emulsified medium from aliquots of the phthalates dissolved in a diethyl ether: ethyl acetate (1:9) mixture and Hyamine 1622 as emulsifying agent. The characteristics of the reduction processes in both media were established. The number of electrons involved was higher for the base form of the electroactive species. Using dpp at ΔE=−50 mV, the detection limits obtained in the emulsified medium were 6.7×10−8 and 7.4×10−7 moll−1 for diethyl phthalate and dibutyl phthalate, respectively. Interferences between the two phthalates were studied, and the possibility of carrying out the overall determination of both phthalates was demonstrated. Good results were obtained when applying the polarographic method developed in the emulsified medium to determine diethyl phthalate by dpp in spiked milk after extraction of the analyte with diethyl ether: ethyl acetate (1:9).
