Assay of pyrithione complexes
Souhrn
Význam tématu
Komplexní pyrithionáty zinku, mědi a sodíku představují široce používané fungicidy a baktericidy v kosmetice, farmacii a průmyslové ochraně proti řasám a biofoulingu. Spolehlivé stanovení jejich obsahu je nezbytné pro zajištění kvality surovin a finálních výrobků, bezpečnost spotřebitelů a dodržení regulačních norem.
Cíle a přehled studie
Cílem publikovaného bulletinâ je popsat univerzální potenciometrickou titrační metodu pro kvantitativní stanovení komplexů pyrithionu (ZnPT, CuPT, NaPT). Metoda využívá jodometrické titrace se standardními roztoky jódu a thiosíranu sodného a indikaci bodů ekvivalence pomocí Pt Titrode elektrod.
Použitá metodika a instrumentace
Metoda spočívá v rozpuštění vzorku ve vodě a kyselině (HCl nebo CH₃COOH), následné titraci roztokem jódu (c=0,05 mol/L) u ZnPT a NaPT nebo thiosíranu sodného (c=0,1 mol/L) u CuPT. Pro stanovení korekčního faktoru (titeru) se provádí kalibrace standardním thiosíranským nebo jodovým roztokem.
Použitá instrumentace
- Titrátor s DET módem
- Pt Titrode (Metrohm 6.0431.100)
- Volitelně autosampler
- Magnetický míchač
- Buret (20 mL nebo 50 mL podle metody)
Hlavní výsledky a diskuse
Ukázkové titrační křivky pro ZnPT a NaPT vykazují dobře definovaný první bod ekvivalence. Pro CuPT je kromě kyselého rozpuštění nutné přidání močoviny a amoniaku pro tvorbu komplexů, následně se titruje Na₂S₂O₃. Metoda je citlivá na přítomnost jiných thiolových sloučenin, proto je třeba dbát čistoty vzorku a reagencií. Stanovení prokázalo lineární závislost signálu v rozsahu 0,1–100 % obsahu pyrithionátu.
Přínosy a praktické využití metody
- Vysoká přesnost a reprodukovatelnost v širokém rozsahu koncentrací
- Možnost automatizace pomocí autosampleru
- Univerzální postup pro různé pyrithionátové komplexy
- Aplikace v QA/QC laboratořích v kosmetickém, farmaceutickém a průmyslovém sektoru
Budoucí trendy a možnosti využití
Očekává se rozšíření metodiky o on-line monitoring procesů a využití tenkých vrstvových elektrod pro snížení spotřeby vzorku. Dalšími směry jsou miniaturizace titrátoru, integrace do dálkově ovládaných systémů a adaptace na nové thiolové komplexy hypotetických biocidů.
Závěr
Popisovaná potenciometrická titrace s Pt Titrode poskytuje robustní, rychlou a efektivní metodu pro stanovení komplexů pyrithionátu. Díky jednoduché přípravě vzorku, standardním parametric�m a možnosti plné automatizace je vhodná pro rutinní analýzy kvality i výzkumné účely.

Summary
Pyrithione complexes, such as zinc pyrithione (ZnPT), copper
pyrithione (CuPT), and sodium pyrithione (NaPT), are used
as fungicides and bactericides. ZnPT is used in the treatment
of skin conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff.
Furthermore, ZnPT is sometimes used as an antibacterial
agent in paints to prevent algae and mildew growth. CuPT is
primarily in use as a biocide to prevent biofouling of surfaces
submerged in water. Meanwhile, NaPT is used as antifungal
agent for treatment of mycosis, such as athlete’s foot.
The different pyrithione complexes are determined by
iodometric titration using a maintenance-free Pt Titrode for
the indication.
Zinc pyrithione
Summary
ZnPT is dissolved in water, acidified with HCl, and then
titrated with iodine. During the titration, iodine is consumed by
the thiol groups present in ZnPT.

overnight.
Sample preparation
An appropriate amount of sample is weighed into a 250 mL
sample beaker and the exact weight is recorded. 10 mL
ultrapure water is added, and the beaker is swirled to
disperse the sample. In a fume hood, 20 mL of concentrated

Comments
•
This method is applicable to all in-process and final
samples that contain from 0.1% to 100% sodium
pyrithione by weight.
•
This method does not apply to sodium pyrithione
formulations where other oxidizable species are
present, or where other ingredients interfere with
equivalence point detection.
•
Glacial acetic acid can be used instead of concentrated
HCl for a more defined equivalence point in samples
with low concentrations of sodium pyrithione.

Potassium iodide
solution
w(KI) = 20%
20 g KI is weighed accurately and
transferred into a clean 100 mL
volumetric flask. Then the flask is
made up to the mark with
ultrapure water.
Sulfuric acid
solution
w(H2SO4) = 10%
10 mL concentrated sulfuric acid
is taken in a clean 100 mL
volumetric flask containing already
50 mL ultrapure water. The flask is
then made up to the mark with
ultrapure water.
Standard solution
Potassium iodate
Potassium iodate is dried in a
drying oven for 2 h at 110 °C and
allowed to cool down in a
desiccator for at least 1 h.
Sample preparation
Approximately 0.1 g sample is weighed accurately and
transferred into 150 mL beaker. 15 mL of ultrapure water and
6 mL concentrated nitric acid are added. The content is
heated and kept boiling for 1 min. The solution is then taken
from the hot plate and allowed to cool slowly to room
temperature. 40 mL of ultrapure water and 5 mL of urea
solution are added to the mixture, and it is heated again and
kept boiling for 2 min. The solution is again allowed to cool to
room temperature. Ammonia solution is then added dropwise
with stirring until a permanent pale blue precipitation occurs.
Immediately, 6 mL glacial acetic acid is added to the solution
and the solution is then allowed to cool down thoroughly.
Analysis
Titer
Approximately 50 mg of dry potassium iodate is weighed into
a 120 mL beaker, and dissolved in approximately 50 mL of
ultrapure water. Approximately 1 g KI and 25 mL w(H2SO4) =
10% are added. Then, the solution is immediately titrated with
c(Na2S2O3) = 0.1 mol/L until after the equivalence point.
Sample
To the cooled solution, 20 mL KI solution and 10 mL sodium
thiocyanate solution are added. The beaker is then covered
with a watch glass and kept in the dark for 15 min. It is then
titrated with c(Na2S2O3) = 0.1 mol/L until after the equivalence
point.

Comments
•
Before every reagent addition, the content should be
cooled to room temperature.
•
Urea solution is added and boiled to remove excess of
nitric acid in solution.
•
During the ammonia addition, Cu(II) ammonia complex
will be formed, giving a light blue color. When the
precipitation occurs, heat the solution again to remove
excess ammonia and continue the analysis.
•
Liberated iodine will be adsorbed onto the surface of
the CuI precipitate. To negate that interaction, enough
sodium thiocyanate should be added to the solution.
