Abstract
Abstract Nitrite is a carcinogenic substance and its measurement in water samples is important to protect mankind. Here we have introduced a simple and inexpensive fluidic system for the online determination of nitrite in water samples. For this purpose, a highly sensitive, optical flow cell detector was fabricated and used in a fluidic system to prepare a compact unit for nitrite monitoring. Safranin solution in acidic media was used in the system for the sensitive and selective determination of nitrite. In acidic media, nitrite reacted with safranin to form a diazonium salt which caused the dye in the solution to change from reddish-orange to blue. The safranin solution absorbance, which is related to nitrite concentration, was monitored by the fabricated photometer with the flow detector at 525 nm. Water samples were processed to evaluate the effectiveness of both the introduced system and the analytical procedure. Good analytical performance was obtained, including a linear response from 0.3 up to 3 mg/l nitrite (r = 0.9918) with a detection limit of 0.1 mg/l and a relative standard deviation of 4.24% (n = 10), using the proposed setup.
期刊介绍:
Instrumentation Science & Technology is an internationally acclaimed forum for fast publication of critical, peer reviewed manuscripts dealing with innovative instrument design and applications in chemistry, physics biotechnology and environmental science. Particular attention is given to state-of-the-art developments and their rapid communication to the scientific community.
Emphasis is on modern instrumental concepts, though not exclusively, including detectors, sensors, data acquisition and processing, instrument control, chromatography, electrochemistry, spectroscopy of all types, electrophoresis, radiometry, relaxation methods, thermal analysis, physical property measurements, surface physics, membrane technology, microcomputer design, chip-based processes, and more.
Readership includes everyone who uses instrumental techniques to conduct their research and development. They are chemists (organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, nuclear, quality control) biochemists, biotechnologists, engineers, and physicists in all of the instrumental disciplines mentioned above, in both the laboratory and chemical production environments. The journal is an important resource of instrument design and applications data.
