Abstract:

A novel method for the determination of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol has been developed based on fluorescent quenching of riboflavin by 2,4,6-trinitrophenol(TNP) in aqueous solutions. The proposed fluorescent quenching method for TNP detection at pH=6.2 using 0.2 mol/L phosphate(NaH2PO4-Na2HPO4) as buffer solution responses within 1 min and with a broad linear relationship from 2.5 to 1000 μmol/L(r=0.9938). The limit of detection for TNP is 0.55 μmol/L. When 5.00 and 20.00 μmol/L TNP is added to different water samples, the recovery ranges from 98.2% to 103.5%. Furthermore, this method is simple, selective, and with wide linear range. Therefore, it can be applied in the determination of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol in real samples.
