Using Gold Nanoparticles for Ultra trace Spectrophotometry Determination of Tolyltriazole in Aqueous Media

Abstract

In this study, the detection limit sensitivity to the level of μg L-1 was achieved. For this, by applying AuNPs signal fluctuations of high sensitivity was carefully monitored so that they become measureable with highest possible precision. The proposed method is capable of determining TTA over a range of 10-100 μgL-1 with a limit of detection 5 μg L-1. The relative standard deviation of the method was 3% and 1.5%. The obtained preliminary results from this study proved to be effectively successful in determination of TTA in water. A comparison between the proposed method and the previously published methods for TTA determination has also been made for the first time.
