Dimethylsulphonazo

Many complexes of various organic reagents with Ba have been used as reagents for indirect determination of sulphate, such as Chlorophosphonazo III [35-37], Dimethylsulphonazo III [11,38 0], Sulphonazo III [40], Nitchromazo [41], Orthanilic K [42], Thoron I [43], Methylthymol Blue [44,45].

Other alternative spectrophotometric method of widespread use for sulfate monitoring is the dimethylsulphonazo(III) (DMSA(III)) approach. It has been automated in FIA [5] and SIA [6] and applied to the analysis of natural and residual waters. This method involves the reaction of sulfate with barium-dimethylsulphonazo(ni) complex, Ba-DMSA(111), displacing Ba from the complex and forming DMSA(III).
