Abstract:
Ozone (O3) could be absorbed by boric acid-potassium iodide (BKI) absorbent solution to produce tri-iodine ion (I3(-)) that react with victoria blue B (VBB) to form the associated particle (VBB-I3)n and exhibited a strong resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) peak at 722 nm. Under the chosen conditions, the RRS peak intensity was linear with O3 concentration in the range of 0.2-50 μmol/L, with a linear regression equation of ΔI722=17.9c-45.4 and detection limit of 0.057 μmol/L. Accordingly, a simple, rapid and sensitive RRS spectral method was set up for determination of trace O3 in air, with satisfactory results.
