Abstract:
A novel method for determination of carbaryl in effluent was proposed in this study. The kinetic evolution of excitation-emission matrix fluorescence (EEM) for the pesticide were recorded and come into being a four-way data array. The four-way fluorescence data were analyzed using the parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). The methodology exploits the second-order advantage of three-order calibration based on quadrilinear parallel factor analysis, allowing analyte concentrations to be estimated even in the presence of an uncalibrated fluorescent background. It gave the satisfactory results for determination of the carbaryl in effluent samples. In addition, the kinetic study of degradation of carbaryl was performed according to the kinetic profile provided by the calibration.
