DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A SELECTIVE METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF CHRYSENE USING SILVER-ENHANCED ROOM-TEMPERATURE PHOSPHORIMETRY<br />
Journal Title: Metrology and Measurement Systems - Year 2007, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
A factorial design was applied for the development of a solid surface room-temperature phosphorimetric method aiming the selective determination of chrysene. Data analysis was made using statistical experimental analysis (testing the significance of the factors using the analysis of variation, F-test and t-test), graphic method (Pareto´s chart) and the evaluation of the interactions among all variables. This procedure was used in order to guarantee high accuracy of results and minimization of the time spent for optimization. As the result, the experimental conditions using a selective phosphorescence inducer (silver) and a substrate surface modifier allowed the determination of chrysene in the presence of pyrene. The method allowed the detection of effective masses of chrysene in the ng range. Method validation is presented including a recovery and "t" tests using a Standard Reference Material.
