title: [Determination of trace copper based on the fluorescence quenching of phenanthroline].
abstract: A fluorescence quenching method for the determination of trace Cu (II) was developed. The method was based on the fluorescence quenching effect of phenanthroline due to the formation of a non-fluorescent complex in pH 6.25-7.55 KH2PO4-Na2HPO4 medium. The excitation and emission wavelengths are 266 and 368 nm, respectively. The linear range is 8-300 ng.mL-1 and the detection limit is 10.4 ng.mL-1. The method has been satisfactorily used to determine trace amounts of Cu (II) in standard environmental water samples with sulfhydryl cotton separation.
