The Peroxyoxalate Chemiluminescence and its Application to the Determination of Hydrogen Peroxide in Precipitation

  • Conference paper
Chemistry of Multiphase Atmospheric Systems

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIG,volume 6))

Abstract

It is well known that during oxidation of oxalic acid esters by hydrogen peroxide an intense chemiluminescence radiation is emitted. This phenomenon has been used already several times for the determination of hydrogen peroxide in different matrices down to very small concentrations.

This contribution deals with the adaptation of the peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence method to precipitation analysis. Instrumentation, reagents and analytical procedures are given as well as results of extensive interference studies,

Furthermore data obtained in field measurements of hydrogen peroxide in precipitation and surface water is presented, and possible correlations are discussed.
