QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS 273 Dusting Powders. Weinberger 33 recommends determining small quantities of para<strong>formaldehyde</strong> in dusting powders and other mixtures by treating the sample with sulfuric acid, distilling, and applying Romijn's potassium cyanide method to the distillate. Pungicides and Seed-conserving Agents. Fungicides and insecticide* containing copper sulfate should be treated with potassium ferrocyanide to remove the copper before the <strong>formaldehyde</strong> content is determined by the alkaline peroxide method- 1 . In the case of seed-conserving agents containing mercury chloride, potassium chloride should be added prior to the distillation in order to prevent the mercury from distilling over with the aldehyde and causing erroneous results in alkaline peroxide or sodium sulfite analysis 5 . Determination of Combined Formaldehyde in Normals A good procedure for the approximate determination of combined <strong>formaldehyde</strong> in formals was developed hy Clowes 11 *. It is carried out by heating a weighed sample of the formal plus 5 cc water with a mixture of 15 cc concentrated hydrochloric acid, 15 cc water and a slight excess of phloroglucinol for two hours at 70 to 80°C, allowing the mixture to stand overnight, then filtering off the reddish brown phloroglucinol <strong>formaldehyde</strong> resin in a Gooch crucible, washing it with 60 cc of water, and drying in an oven at 100 °C for 4 hours. After cooling in a desiccator, the crucible containing the precipitate is weighed. The weight of the precipitated resin, whose empirical formula is approximately C7H503j is divided by 4.6 to obtain the weight of combined <strong>formaldehyde</strong>. This procedure can naturally be employed only with formals whose hydrolysis products are soluble in water. Formaldehyde and phloroglucinol react in approximately equimolar proportions. Determination of Combined Formaldehyde in Formaldehyde-treated Products In general, heating with dilute acids followed by distillation makes it possible to isolate combined <strong>formaldehyde</strong> quantitatively or almost quantitatively from paper, textiles, leather and foimaldehyde-protein compositions . This procedure is widely used in connection with the determination of combined <strong>formaldehyde</strong> hi these materials. The following instances involving protein-<strong>formaldehyde</strong> compositions are typical. In the determination of <strong>formaldehyde</strong> in fur, hair, and wool, the hairs are treated with dilute acid and the <strong>formaldehyde</strong> is distilled off in the customary manner. If the acid distillate gives a positive test for <strong>formaldehyde</strong> with Schryver's phenylhydrazine-potassium ferricyanide test (page 247), Romijn's iodine method of quantitative analysis may be used 43 , In the analysis of leather samples, it is recommended that the formalde-
274 FORMALDEHYDE hyde liberated by the acid treatment be distilled into an excess of sodium bisulfite. This excess is titrated with iodine, after whieh alkali is added to destroy the <strong>formaldehyde</strong>-bisulfite compound. Titration of the liberated bisulfite completes the procedure. It should be noted, however, thatvegetable tannine interfere with the determination 24 . A similar method is used by Xitschmann and Hadorn 33 for the determination of <strong>formaldehyde</strong> in <strong>formaldehyde</strong>-hardened casein. Here, the <strong>formaldehyde</strong> is distilled into 1 per cent sodium bisulfite solution and, after standing one hour, the excess bisulfite is titrated with deciuormal iodine against starch. Treatment of the titrated liquor rath 95 per cent ethyl alcohol, then with 5 per cent sodium carbonate, and retitration complete the analysis. According to Bougault and Leboucq 8 , combined <strong>formaldehyde</strong> in methylolanudes can sometimes be determined by the mercurimetric method. References 1. Allemaim, 0.r 2. .4M!.
