Luminescent determination of nitrite traces in water solutions using cellulose as sorbent
Abstract
Morphology and photoluminescence (PL) properties for microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), microcrystalline nitrite powders of common formulae MNO2 (M = Na, K) (MCN) and two-component materials composed of both MCC and MCN have been prepared and characterized by means of optical microscopy and luminescence spectroscopy. This study aimed to clarify a possibility of low-limit determination of the nitrite traces in water solutions by luminescent method.
