A Study on Spectrophotometric Determination of Oleic Acid by Basic Dye Methylen Bblue

염기성색소(鹽基性色素) Methylen Blue에 의(依)한 Oleic Acid의 흡광광도정량(吸光光度定量)

A new spectrophotemetric method was estalished for the determination of oleic acid. This method is based on the 1,2-dichloroe-thane extraction of the ion-pair formed between methylene blue and oleic acid. But the absorbance of an ion-pair in the 1,2-dichloroe-thane layer was variable with the temperature, the ion-pair was extracted back into a diluted hydrochloric acid solution. The maximum absorbance of the acid extract observed at $660m{\mu}$ and a lineal relationship was observed from the initial amount over the range of $50-800{\gamma}/ml$ of oleic acid in the aqueous phase. The composition ratio of the ion-pair formed between methylene blue and oleic acid was determined to be 2 : 1 by both the mole ratio and continuous variation methods.
