Colorant testing

Bismuth standard solution (quantitative color test for Bi) dissolve 1 g of bismuth in a mixture of 3 mL of concentrated HNO3 and 2.8 mL of H2O and make up to 100 mL with glycerol. Also dissolve 5 g of KI in 5 mL of water and make up to 100 mL with glycerol. The two solutions are used together in the colorimetric estimation of Bi. 

The other two methods used by industry to examine the purity of maleic anhydride are the crystallization point (168) and color deterrnination of the sample (169). These tests determine the temperature at the point of solidification of the molten sample and the initial color properties of the melt. Furthermore, the color test also determines the color of the sample after a two-hour heat treatment at 140°C. The purpose of these tests is to determine the deviation in properties of the sample from those of pure maleic anhydride. This deviation is taken as an indication of the amount of contaminants in the maleic anhydride sample. 

Filtered-Particle Inspection. Solids containing extensive inteiconnected porosity, eg, sintered metallic or fired ceramic bodies formed of particles that ate typically of 0.15-mm (100-mesh) screen size, are not inspectable by normal Hquid penetrant methods. The preferred test medium consists of a suspension of dyed soHd particles, which may be contained in a Hquid vehicle dyed with a different color. Test indications can form wherever suspensions can enter cracks and other discontinuities open to the surface and be absorbed in porous material along interior crack walls. The soHd particles that form test indications ate removed by filtration along the line of the crack at the surface where they form color or fluorescent indications visible under near-ultraviolet light (1,3). 

Fastness to Crocking. Crocking is defined as the transfer of color from the surface of a dyed fabric to another surface by mbbing. AATCC test method no. 8 is a method by which a colored test fabric swatch is fastened to the base of a Crockmeter and mbbed against a white crock test cloth under controlled conditions. Color transfer to the white cloth is evaluated by comparison with the AATCC Chromatic Transference Scale. A similar method, AATCC 116, uses a Rotary Vertical Crockmeter, which requires a smaller area of test fabric than the Crockmeter. 

Vitamin is iasoluble ia water and is soluble ia 70% alcohol, cbloroform, petroleum ether, ben2ene, and hexane. Vitamin is stable ia air but should be protected from light. Although unstable ia alkaU, the vitamin is stable ia acidic medium. Its facile decomposition ia basic solution forms the basis of the Dam-Karrer color test. 

The light chlorophenols, normally have a purity greater than 98.5%, but they often reach over 99%, or even 99.5% with direct phenol chlorination. The APHA color test is always below 100. For 2,4,6-ttichlorophenol, the 2,4,5-trichlorophenol content constitutes an essential quaUty index and should be under 20 mg/kg. None of the light chlorophenols contain any polychlorodibenzoparadioxins or polychlorodibenzofurans.

The colorimetric procedure has been applied to each of the fractions isolated from the partition column. The response to the color test has allowed an accurate prediction of the general type of infrared spectra ultimately found. The color test has also been applied to fractions collected from the gas chromatograph. Of the major responses observed when the pyrethrum mixture is passed through the chromatograph, three of the components respond to the color test. At least two other pyrethrin-like compounds of long retention and small quantity also give the color test. No infrared data are available on these. 

The separations allowed by the partition column provided a rather pure sample of pyrethrin I, demonstrated by the gas chromatograph and by comparison with known infrared spectra. The purified pyrethrin I was weighed quantitatively and a color test performed to determine the extinction coefficient. The figure obtained from ten runs is 1120, calculated from the formula ... 

IV as a cinerin-type compound, peak V as cinerin II, and peak VI as pyrethrin II. It is evident that peak IV also contains another component. The peaks beyond peak VI are known to be of the pyrethrin type as they respond to the color test. This gas chromatography pattern was obtained with a 6-foot lA -inch column packed with 20% SE-30 on 40-60-mesh Chromosorb P. Later work provided good resolution of the peaks with a 2-foot 4-inch column packed with 20% Dow-11 silicone oil on 45-60-mesh Chromosorb P.

Two identification tests for oxytetracycline hydrochloride are given in the USP 28 [1], one being an ultraviolet absorption test and the other a color test. European Pharmacopoeia [2], British Pharmacopoeia (BP) 2003 [4], International Pharmacopoeia [5], and Pharmacopoeia of the People s Republic of China [6] described a thin-layer chromatography and color tests for identification of oxytetracycline hydrochloride and oxytetracycline dihydrate. For identification of oxytetracycline calcium, USP 28 [1] used Method II under identification of tetracycline <193>, whilst BP 2003 [4] described a TLC, color test, and calcium test as the method of identification.
