| Test Item | Common Testing Method | Method Description |
|---|---|---|
| Purity (Active Ingredient Content) | Gas Chromatography (GC) | A capillary column (e.g., DB-5 or HP-INNOWAX) is used with FID as the detector. Quantification is performed using internal standard or external standard methods. This method is suitable for separating and determining 1,2-ethanedithiol and its possible impurities (such as disulfides, water, alcohols). |
| Water Content | Karl Fischer Titration | Iodine reacts quantitatively with water in the presence of sulfur dioxide, pyridine, and methanol. The moisture content is determined by electrochemical or volumetric titration methods, which are used to control the impact of water on product stability. |
| Sulfur Content | Oxygen Bomb Combustion - Ion Chromatography (OBC-IC) | The sample is completely combusted in an oxygen bomb, converting sulfur into sulfate ions. Ion chromatography is then used to measure SO₄²⁻ concentration, indirectly calculating total sulfur content to verify whether the proportion of sulfur atoms matches the theoretical value. |
| Appearance and Color | Visual Inspection + Colorimetry (APHA) | Transparency and yellowness (APHA color number) of the sample are evaluated through visual comparison or a colorimeter, to assess if colored impurities such as disulfides have been formed due to oxidation. |
| Acid Value / Free Acids | Acid-Base Titration | Free acidic impurities (e.g., thio carboxylic acids generated by oxidation) are titrated with a standard NaOH solution using phenolphthalein as an indicator. The acid value is controlled to ≤0.1 mg KOH/g. |
| Impurity Profile (Organic Impurities) | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) | A C18 reverse-phase column is used with a UV detector (210–230 nm) or evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). Gradient elution is employed to separate low-volatility or thermally unstable impurities, such as dimers and oxidation products. |
| Boiling Point / Distillation Range | Distillation Method (Atmospheric or Reduced Pressure) | The boiling point range (approximately 175–178°C at atmospheric pressure for 1,2-ethanedithiol) is measured using a precision distillation apparatus to determine the presence of high-boiling or low-boiling impurities. |
| Heavy Metal Content | Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) or ICP-MS | After nitric acid digestion, AAS or ICP-MS is used to determine residual heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Hg, and As, complying with pharmacopoeia or electronic chemical standards (e.g., ≤5 ppm). |
| Oxidation Stability (Disulfides) | UV-Visible Spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) | 1,2-Ethanedithiol easily oxidizes to form 1,2-ethane dithiol or disulfides, which exhibit characteristic absorption peaks at 240–260 nm. Oxidation extent is assessed based on absorbance changes. |
| Odor and Volatility | Odor Evaluation + Gas Chromatography-Olfactometry (GC-O) | Odor evaluation is conducted by trained personnel, combined with GC-O techniques to identify abnormal odor components (such as hydrogen sulfide or oxidized thiols), for sensory quality control. |
