Evaluation of sampling/preconcentration techniques and pyridine derivative reagents for fluorometric determination of chloroform and TCE in water

Creator:

Prayoonpokarach, Sanchai

Abstract:

A direct purge technique was developed for the determination of chloroform or trichloroethylene (TCE) in water samples. These volatile organic solvents are transferred from the water sample to a reagent where they are trapped and react to form products (Fujiwara chemistry) that are monitored fluorometrically. Chloroform in a water sample...

Development and evaluation of sampling techniques, instrumentation, and pyridine derivative reagents for fluorometric determination of chloroform and TCE in water with a portable fluorometer

Creator:

Prayoonpokarach, Sanchai

Abstract:

A novel, portable, filter fluorometer was developed for the determination of chloroform and TCE at environmentally-relevant levels when coupled with improved sampling techniques and reagents. Reagents selective for the TCE or chloroform convert these toxic species into fluorescent species that can be monitored. The fluorometer is based on LED excitation...
