CHRONOPHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENT OF CHEMICAL LUMINESCENCE IN THE HYDRAZIDE OF TRI-AMINOPHTHALIC ACID (LUMINOL)

Abstract

Research was conducted into the variations in intensity and duration of the emission of light which occurs in reactions of the hydrazide of tri- aminophthalic acid (luminol) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and iron compounds. Suitable experimental apparatus for taking such measurements were devised, and the results obtained show, in some areas, a significant proportional relationship between the maximum light intensity given off and the concentration of peroxide. A direct relationship was also observed between the maximum light intensity and the concentration of hemin when hemin was used as a catalyzing iron compound.
