Application

Dithizone may be used for the following purposes:
  • As an extracting agent for the extraction of copper in kerosene.
  • Alteration of graphene oxide nano-sheet to improve its adsorption capacity.
  • Preparation of magnetite nanoparticles/silicon dioxide-dithizone-palladium complex (MNPs/SiO2-DTZ-Pd complex), which is employed as a catalyst for Suzuki type coupling reactions.
  • Surface modification of mesoporous silica membranes.
  • As a titrant in the quantitative determination of heavy metals.
