Abstract

Flow injection spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of cypermethrin insecticide. The method is based on alkaline hydrolysis of cypermethrin is converted into 2-diphenyl ether cyano ethane and hydrolyzed with HCl and resulting product was diazotized with nitrate and coupled with aniline. The absorption maxima of the azo dye formed is measured at 535 nm in acidic medium. Beer’s law is obeyed over the concentration range of 5.5 to 36 μg/25 mL. The molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity were found to be 5.3 × 104 L mol-1 cm-1 and 0.066 μg cm-2, respectively. The standard deviation and relative standard deviation were found to be ± 0.003 and 0.56 %, respectively. The % recovery for the determination of cypermethrin was found to be 92 %. The sampling frequency was 80 samples per hour for flow injection analysis. The method is simple sensitive and free from interferences of other pesticides and diverse ions. Other pyrethroid insecticides do not interfere in the proposed method. The method is simple, fast and has been satisfactorily applied to the determination of cypermethrin in commercial formation, food and environmental sample.
