The tests to determine glycerol purity according to recommended guidelines involve gas chromatographic techniques, which require expensive instruments and high technical skills. A rapid novel method for assessing glycerol purity is proposed, which can be used for screening glycerol raw material for DEG contamination. The colorimetric assay relies on the rapid reduction of chromium(VI) to chromium(III) by glycerol in the presence of excess sulfuric acid. The conversion of chromium(VI) to chromium(III) by DEG is much slower as compared to glycerol. Comparing both the analytes, a differential in the rate of reduction of chromium(VI) to chromium(III) was observed, which is exploited in the assay. The formation of chromium(III) product could be assessed by spectrophotometric analysis at 574 nm. The method is linearly sensitive to glycerol concentrations. The assay is simple, rapid, and can be used to screen glycerol consignments by comparing them with the readings obtained from standard pure pharmaceutical glycerol.

The characteristics of determining inorganic and organotin species using various modern analytical methods are discussed. The determination of tin species in aquatic systems is complicated by the complexity of the sample matrix, particularly seawater, and by the low concentrations of the analyte, requiring the use of highly sensitive and selective analytical techniques combined with analyte preconcentration and separation procedures. The need to determine trace concentrations of tin is associated with the fact that the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of tin ranges from 0.010 to 10.0 μg/L. Spectrometric methods predominate in the determination of inorganic tin and enable low limits of detection to be achieved; however, the possible presence of organotin compounds in samples complicates the analysis. In the analysis of waters with complex sample matrices, hyphenated methods that combine various approaches for separating tin species with subsequent spectrometric determination play an important role. The combination of chromatographic separation with ICP–AES/MS techniques appears to be the most effective approach, enabling the detection of tin compounds at the nanogram per liter level. However, the optimal analytical conditions are generally specific to a particular tin species and require the development of new analytical schemes for the comprehensive assessment of water contamination. Preliminary extraction-based separation of tin species followed by ICP determination of the analytes is also an effective approach.</p>","PeriodicalId":606,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Analytical Chemistry","volume":"81 :","pages":"1273 - 1285"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148807372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
