Continuous flow determination of carbon dioxide in water by membrane separation-chemiluminescent detection

Journal Article · · Anal. Lett.; (United States)
Carbon dioxide has been found to enhance the chemiluminescence of a luminol system. A determination method for carbon dioxide in water was developed by applying this reaction to a continuous flow membrane-separation system. Concentrations of carbon dioxide as low as 0.04 ..mu..g C/mL were determined. Membrane-separation effectively eliminated interferences from Co(II), Cr(III), Fe(III), and other ions which also enhance chemiluminescence. The relative standard deviation for this method was 2.8% (n=5) for 4.0 ..mu..g C/mL and the time required for the analysis of one sample was 3.0 min.
