The authors used the chemiluminescent oxidation reaction of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to determine iron in waters of various composition (neutral mine, artesian, and deionized waters). The oxidation reaction takes place in a weakly alkaline medium, and the catalyst is iron (III) activated by TETA and DETA. The iron content is evaluated from the intensity of the luminescence. The method is distinguished by its low detection limit (0.04 ng/ml), sufficient selectivity, stability of the luminescence with time, and accessibility of the reagents.
