Abstract
The stopped-flow mixing technique was applied to micellar-stabilized room temperature phosphorimetry by measuring the fast appearance of the phosphorescent signal yielded by nafronyl in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and thallium nitrate. This mixing system diminishes the time required for the deoxygenation of micellar medium by sodium sulfite, allowing a kinetic curve that levels off within only 5 s to be obtained. Phosphorescence enhancers thallium(I) nitrate, sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium sulfite were optimized to obtain maximum sensitivity and selectivity. A pH value of 10.5 was selected as adequate for phosphorescence development. Two rapid, straightforward and automatic methods were proposed using the slope and amplitude of the kinetic curve, which are directly proportional to the nafronyl concentration, as analytical parameters. Calibration graphs were linear for the concentration range from 30 to 600 ng ml-1. Praxilene, the only commercial formulation containing nafronyl, was analysed by both proposed methodologies. Suitable recovery values were obtained.
