Analytical studies using iodine-luminol chemiluminescence.
Trace amounts of substances have been related to iodine consumption monitored by chemiluminescence from the iodine-luminol system. Iodine titrations of sulphite and arsenic(III) have been carried out at levels of 1.0 x 10(-7) and 5.0 x 10(-8)M with a precision and error of better than 1% on a day-to-day basis. A calibrated standard of 1.8 ppm SO(2) in air was analysed with a precision of +/-1.2%, and an error of 0.9%. A rate method has been developed based on the reaction between iodine and penicillin G; a linear range from 10(-8) to 10(-7)M was found, the precision being +/-9%.
