摘要
A novel and high throughput chemiluminescence (CL) method for determination of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in water sample was originally developed based on potassium permanganate-glutaraldehyde CL system. With this method, dissolved organic matter in water samples was digested by excess acid potassium permanganate, the reacted mixture solutions containing surplus KMnO(4) were added in wells of a 96-well plate, followed by injection of glutaraldehyde in the wells, and CL was then produced along with the reaction of the added glutaraldehyde with the surplus KMnO(4) and detected by a photomultiplier tube (PMT). The difference (At) between the CL intensity for distilled water and that for sample water was proportional to the COD value of water sample. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 0.16-19.24 mg L(-1) with a detection limit of 0.1 mg L(-1). A complete analysis could be performed in 40 min including digestion and detection, giving a very high throughput of 3 x 96 samples in about 60 min. Compared with the conventional methods, this method is simple and sensitive and consumes very limited and cheap reagents. Owing to its rapid, automatic, high throughput and low cost characteristics, the presented CL method has been applied successfully to the determination of COD in real water samples (n = 32) with satisfactory results.
