โฆ Synopsis
Zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDP) are widely used as multifunctional oil additives 1-4. Under engine conditions or under laboratory simulations they rapidly break down to give a multiplicity of products. The fate of the ZDDP can be determined after separation from these products and from other additives by paper 5 or thin-layer chromatography 6 (t.l.c.). A quantitative estimation of the subsequent trace quantity of the zinc-derivative has then been made by neutron activation analysis 7 or pyrolysis-gas chromatography 8. The simpler method described here involves elution of the zinc after t.l.c, and its estimation by anodic stripping voltammetry 9. This technique is sufficiently sensitive to detect the zinc contained in a typical 10 pl sample of a 2% ZDDP solution.
