Nj. Kearney et al., DETERMINATION OF PYROGALLOL USING CONTINUOUS-FLOW WITH CHEMILUMINESCENCE DETECTION, Analytical communications, 33(7), 1996, pp. 241-243
Pyrogallol is determined by means of chemiluminescence at 500 nm which
accompanies the oxidation by hydrogen peroxide of autoxidized pyrogal
lol in the presence of chromium(III) and formaldehyde. Using air-segme
nted continuous flow analysis, the LOD (3s) was 6.0 x 10(-9) mol dm(-3
) and the calibration was linear up to 10(-4) mol dm(-3). The method h
as the potential to be extended to other phenols.
