Various non-destructive SFS techniques for simultaneous recognition and monitoring of 1-amino pyrene and 1-napthyl amine in the mixture

Abstract

The sensitive, non-destructive constant wavelength (CW) and constant energy (CE) SFS techniques have been used for the simultaneous determination of 1-amino pyrene (AP) and 1-napthyl amine (NA) in their mixtures without prior separation via optimization of different experimental conditions (Δλ_CW 70.0 nm, Δν_CE 4000.0 cm⁻¹, scan rate 240.0 nm/min, 25.0 °C, methanol). Amplitude–concentration plots have been linear for 1-amino pyrene, AP (0.01–0.1 mg/L) and 1-napthyl amine, NA (0.1–1.0 mg/L). In aqueous methanolic binary mixtures, the mean recoveries (RSD, LOD and LOQ) of AP were found to be 100.09% (0.053, 0.008 mg/L and 0.034 mg/L) for emission, 100.11% (0.141, 0.008 mg/L, 0.034 mg/L) for CWSFS, 100.05% (0.109, 0.007 mg/L and 0.032 mg/L) for first derivative CWSFS, 100.00% (0.148, 0.007 mg/L and 0.031 mg/L) for CESFS, 99.99% (0.109, 0.008 mg/L and 0.035 mg/L) for first derivative CESFS modes respectively. Additionally, for NA the mean recoveries (RSD, LOD and LOQ) were 100.29% (0.360, 0.046 mg/L and 0.204 mg/L) for emission, 100.06% (0.089, 0.098 mg/L, 0.436 mg/L) for CWSFS, 100.09% (0.144, 0.065 mg/L and 0.288 mg/L) for first derivative CWSFS, 100.05% (0.178, 0.077 mg/L and 0.339 mg/L) for CESFS, 100.03% (0.181, 0.082 mg/L and 0.364 mg/L) for first derivative CESFS modes respectively. Considering their safety and greenness, these methods might be considered as green tools using analytical eco-scale approaches (eco-scale score 88.0).
