Formation of Methyl Mercaptan in Paddy Soils (II)

Abstract
In the previous paper1), the authors proposed a method for determining methyl mercaptan formed in paddy soils. In this method, methyl mercaptan was expelled by nitrogen gas from Paddy soils, and was introduced into 4% mercuric CYanide solution after separation from hydrogen sulfide by hydrous calcium chloride and lead acetate (solid). The methyl mercaptan caught by mercuric cyanide solution was measured by colorimetric method using dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine and ferric chloride solutions. And then, the analysis of several field soils was conducted by using this method.
