Determination of Phenol by Preconcentration-Direct Chemiluminescence in a FIA Assembly

The determination of phenol in water samples is proposed with the aid of a flow-injection system. The analytical procedure is based on the direct chemiluminometric emission by oxidation of the analyte with potassium permanganate in acidic medium. The flow assembly is provided with a solid-phase reac...

Description
Summary:The determination of phenol in water samples is proposed with the aid of a flow-injection system. The analytical procedure is based on the direct chemiluminometric emission by oxidation of the analyte with potassium permanganate in acidic medium. The flow assembly is provided with a solid-phase reactor filled with a resin type XAD-4 for analyte preconcentration. A large study of potential interferences, namely, amino acids reaching water through degradation of organic matter; metals and inorganic metal ions typically present in water interfering with the CL emission of the parent compound, was performed. The calibration graph was linear over the phenol concentration range 1.0-20.0 ng mL −1 ; the LOD was 5.0 ng mL −1 . Finally, the method was applied to the determination of phenol in waste- and groundwater.
