Rapid and Sensitive Determination of Trace Chloride Ion in Drinks Using Resonance Light Scattering Technique

Abstract

A resonance light scattering (RLS) technique to determine chloride ions in drinks was developed. Chloride ions were found to bind Ag+ forming AgCl aggregates that produced intense resonance scattering light. Effects of factors such as acidity, ionic strength, and coexistent interferents on the RLS of AgCl aggregates were investigated. The pH of solution almost did not affect the production of RLS and few foreign species interfered with the detection of chloride ions. The resonance scattering light intensity at the maximum peak of 571 nm was linear to the concentration of chloride ions in the range of 1.42–8.52 ng mL−1 with a detection limit of 0.71 ng mL−1. To determine the feasibility of the proposed method, some samples of water and drinks were analyzed. The attained results were in agreement with that of ion-selective electrode method. Good recovery results were also obtained with the range of 94.08–105.63%. The sensitivity and selectivity of the RLS method are high enough to determine trace amounts of chloride ions without any significant interference from high concentration of other components such as common anions and cations.

Amperometric Sensor for Detection of Chloride Ions

“…Numerous analytical methods for chloride ions in a variety of samples have been developed, such as ion chromatography [17, 18] near-infrared spectrometry [12] spectroscopy [13] light scattering [14] ion-selective electrode method [6, 9, 15, 16] turbidimetric method [17] and flow based methods coupled with different detectors [9, 18, 19]. On the other hand, sensors and biosensors have the advantages of specificity, low cost, ease to use, portability and the ability to furnish continuous real time signals [20-66].…”

Cobalt Phthalocyanine Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor for Chloride Sensing in Water Samples

“…These devices present many advantages like high sensitivity, a relative ease of use, compactness, and a moderate cost per sample [13][14][15]. Chemical and biological sensors were developed for chloride detection inhuman fluids monitoring [16][17][18][19][20][21], civil infrastructure engineering [5,[22][23], and environmental and industrial applications [4,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. In all these cases, the transduction principle is either electrochemical or optical.…”

Green synthesized silver NPs: fluorescence sensor for Cl− ions in aqueous solution in biological pH and cell viability study

“…Such wide applications imply an urgent requirement for increased selectivity and sensitivity to detect chloride ions. Several methods including chromatography [20,21], light scattering [22], turbidimetry [23], ion selective electrodes [24][25][26][27], near-infrared spectrometry [28], spectroscopy [29], flow-based methods coupled with different detectors [30][31][32], visual sensing [33], laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy [34] have been used for determination of chloride ions. However, these methods are costly, time consuming and require bulk sample volumes as well as huge amount of organic solvent with obscure separation and extraction processes.…”
