Abstract
The effect of cationic [cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), Zephiramine], non-ionic (Triton X-100, Brij-35) and anionic (sodium lauryl sulphate) surfactant micelles on the fluorescence intensity of the zinc 5,7-dichloro-2-methylquinolin-8-ol chelate is described. In Brij-35 or CTAB micellar media, the fluorescence is about 25 times greater than that obtained in ethanol-water. The relationship between fluorescence intensity and experimental variables was studied in order to develop a procedure for the fluorimetric determination of zinc. Linear calibration graphs were obtained in the ranges 3–100 and 50–400 ng Zn ml −1. The detection limit is 3 ng ml −1. The method was successfully applied to the determination of zinc in food samples and drinking waters.
