Abstract
Carbon disulphide can be determined at ppm level by converting it into xanthate and then oxidizing it by radiochloramine-T in acid medium. Interference of sulphide, sulphite and nitrite can be eliminated by extracting CS2 from the mixture into carbon tetrachloride and stripping it into aqueous medium as xanthate by the addition of alcoholic KOH to the organic layer.
