Abstract

A fluorophotometric determination of phenols in waste water was developed. Sample water was distilled and the total phenols in the distillate was measured spectrofluorophotometrically at exitation, 278nm, and emission, 299nm. Various inorganic salts did not interfere, but some organic compounds, such as formaldehyde and aniline, interfered with the determination. This method was compared with an official 4-aminoantipyrine method. The good agreements were obtained. This method is useful for the research of environmental pollution because of it's accuracy and easiness.
