EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CHEMILUMINESCENCE OF LUMINOL IN AQUEOUS ALIPHATIC AMINES

Abstract

Effect of temperature on the chemiluminescence (CL) of Luminol in some aqueous aliphatic amines such as ethyl amine (EA), diethyl amine (DEA), and triethyl amine (TEA), have been studied and reported. On the basis of experimental results, it is found that the chemiluminescence intensity initially increased with temperature, attains an optimum value of particular temperature and then decrease on further increase in temperature. It is also found that maximum CL intensity (I max) of chemiluminescence of Luminol founds in diethyl amine.
