How Can I dissolve carbofuran in water for preparation of stock solution of 300 mg/L for studying its photocatalytic degradation?, and what is the stability and method of preservation for stock solution?
you speak about technical carbofuran???? if yes you must back to the chemical properties and read about the solubility
Carbofuron is a solid granule formulation (G) perpetrated for controlled release in soil(mainly) and plant whorls. It absorbs water slowly. and can not be dissolved easily.
Any organic solvent (acetone) will be ideal
Dear Prof. Udikeri
Thanks for your reply, but i want to dissolve it in water for preparation stock solution of 300 mg/L to study its photocatalytic degradation. Can I use ultrasonic or it will cause problems for my analyses.
Regards,
solubility of of this chemical in pure form is around 700mg/L(the pesticide manual) at 25C. your amount would make almost 1/2 saturated solution of this one. if feel problem and acetone doesn't interfere your experiment, you can first dissolve it in a very small amount of acetone (solubility in acetone= 70g /L ) then make this up to your con. by addition of desire amount of water
Dr. Amal Elsonbaty, see 700 mg/L is a pretty good to get dissolved you desired amount in water easily
hi I have the same query.
have you found the answer?
if yes please let me know.
