Abstract
A group of selected phenols i.e., picric acid, p-Nitrophenol, m-Nitrophenol, o-Nitrophenol, and phenol interactions were studied with a fluorescent probe carbazole in a micellar system of CTAB. CTAB concentration was optimized for maximum quenching of carbazole for each studied phenol. Interaction was studied in 0.02 and 0.1mol/dm3 CTAB. All the studied phenols resulted in the quenching of carbazole in both CTAB concentrations though lower CTAB concentration was found optimum for highest quenching of the probe carbazole. Carbazole fluorescence quenching with phenols were explained with the help of Stern-Volmer equation that produced the constants of Stern-Volmer ([Formula: see text]). [Formula: see text] shows the sensitiveness of the method for the studied phenol and were observed in the order picric acid > phenol > m-Nitrophenol > p-Nitrophenol > o-Nitrophenol. Detection threshold (DT) and quantification threshold (QT) were observed in the order 1.76 [Formula: see text] 10-7- 6.30 [Formula: see text] 10-7mol/dm3 and 5.898 [Formula: see text] 10-7-2.11 [Formula: see text] 10-6mol/dm3 respectively. The method is reproducible and is effective for the determination of studied phenols in the samples.
