摘要
The malachite green method was sometimes used to determine low concentrations of inorganic phosphate due to its high sensitivity. The aim of this work was to test the suitability of this method for the determination of phosphorus (P) extracted by various reagents, e.g., KCl 0.01-1.20M, CaCl2 0.01-0.1M, Na2SO4 0.01-0.40M, NaHCO3 0.1M at pH 8.5, and NaOH 0.1M+NaCl 1M. The malachite green method was also compared with the traditional molybdenum blue method on 35 soil extracts. Color development reached stability within 2 hrs and was stable for up to 24 hrs for dilute solutions. For concentrated solutions the stability was inversely proportional to the concentration of the reagent. Salt concentration appeared to have no effect on absorbance in KCl extracts of up to 1.2M and in Na2SO4 extracts of up to 0.05M. Higher concentrations of sodium sulfate induced flocculation and precipitation of the dye complex, as did CaCl2 above 0.04 M. A strong correlation was found between the malachite green and the molybdenum blue method. The malachite green method can be used for P determination in soil extracts when appropriate time of color development is provided and salt concentration is taken into account.
