Abstract

Screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) surface was easily altered through spontaneous hydrophobic interactions with cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to form a surfactant-adsorbed-layer. This finding combined the practicality of the SPCE with the CTAB’s anti-fouling ability and preconcentration properties as a suitable alternative to determine the quinizarine in fuel samples using the square-wave voltammetric technique. Under optimized experimental conditions the electroanalytical method presented a linear response from 5.00×10−7 to 6.00×10−6molL−1 (r=0.998) with a detection limit of 2.70×10−7molL−1. The methodology was successfully applied in the dye marker quantification in diesel oil and kerosene samples, without matrix interference, with recoveries values highly satisfactory and ranged between 84.0% and 98.7%.
