ENHANCING EFFECT OF HYDRAZINE ON CHEMILUMINESCENCE OF LUMINOL-H <sub>2</sub>O <sub>2</sub> SYSTEM
Enhancement in chemiluminescence (CL) signals was obtained when an aqueous alkaline solution of hydrazine was mixed with a luminol–hydrogen peroxide system. The CL intensity is a linear function of hydrazine concentration over a range of 1–10 m g / ml. Several variables on a CL response were examined for the determination of optimum conditions for the system. A possible mechanism of the CL reaction is also discussed.
