Abstract
An embodiment provides a method for measuring total chlorine in a solution, including: preparing a thiocarbamate indicator; introducing the thiocarbamate indicator to a solution, wherein the solution contains an amount of monochloramine; adding an additive to the solution, wherein the additive accelerates the reaction rate between the thiocarbamate indicator and monochloramine and causes a change in fluorescence of the solution; and measuring the amount of monochloramine in the solution by measuring an intensity of the fluorescence. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Claims9
A method for measuring monochloramine in a sample solution, the method comprising:
- preparing a thiocarbamate derivative from a 7-hydroxy coumarin;
- preparing an additive comprising iodide;
- preparing a reaction solution by introducing the thiocarbamate derivative and the additive to a sample solution, wherein the sample solution contains an amount of monochloramine;
- and
- measuring a fluorescence intensity of the reaction solution, wherein the measuring comprises producing an output of monochloramine concentration based upon the fluorescence intensity.
