Spectrophotometric determination of 4-ethylphenol using cloud point extraction in different water samples
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study describes the development of an easy, inexpensive, accurate and fast spectrophotometric technique for the determination of 4-ethylphenol. The primary method involves converting 3-nitroaniline to the diazonium salt and then reacting with 4-ethylphenol in an alkaline medium. It is yellow in color and has a maximum absorption at 426 nm. It obeys Beer's law in a linear range of 5-12 µg mL-1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9994 and a molar absorptivity 6.0024 x 103 L. mol-1. cm-1. Cloud point extraction was used to quantify trace amounts of phenol using TritonX-114 as a surfactants, and subsequently, a measurement procedure was performed using a UV spectrophotometer. The value of the correlation coefficient was 0.9998, the molar absorbance was 1.04676 × 104 L. mol-1. cm-1and the linear range was 2-11 μg mL-1. The limits of detection and quantification were determined to be 0.42103 and 0.140345 μg mL-1, respectively. The proposed method was successfully used for the determination of phenol in different environmental samples.
