Abstract

A simple and sensitive spectrophotometeric method for the determination of Phenol based on its oxidation by N-bromophthalimide (NBP) is proposed. The resulting bromoderivative of phenol oxidizes leucocrystal violet to crystal violet in aqueous medium, the absorbance of which is measured at 595 nm. The colour intensifies with the addition of surfactant, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). Beer’s law is obeyed in the range of 0.02 – 0.22 µg mL-1 of phenol. The molar absorbtivity of the dye is found to be 3.13 x 105 mol-1 cm-1 and sandell’s sensitivity as calculated from the slope is found to be 3x10-4 µg cm-2The method has been successfully applied for the determination of phenol in coke oven effluents and the result obtained, compares well with other reported methods.
