left lighted day and -:light. The bnckground was determined by routing the ozone-carrying air t.tlrough a colunin nf Iabex dchris or of wtivated charcoal. .\t) both levels the ozone concentraticm found by titra.:,ion corresponded withiii to the concentration drtcrinined g:ilv;ttiicnllj~. DISCUSIION

Electrolyte. T h e adclition of n trace of ioclidc t o t h e bromide wis desirabk t o ensure n quantitative conversion of t h e ozone. T h e mechanism 01’ this beneficial synergism is not clear. Possibly t h e anion BrIBr- is involTred. Iodide alone, in large enough concl:ntration, without bromide, also converts quickly and quantitatively to free halogen, but iodide is much more prone than bromide to react with dissolved osygen, and also with the traces of nitrogen dioxide which often accompany ozone-e.g., from welding arcs. A t high iodide level the side reaction with oxygen would cause a high background, and the side reaction with nitrogen dioxide would cause too high increments upon admission of sample. With bromide plus a trace of iodide the uptake of ozone is sufficiently fast, yet neither the background nor the interference of nitrogen dioside is appreciable. Because of the shortiiess of the bubble chain the absorption of KO2 is only partial. Most of the part that is absorbed hydrolyzes harmlessly according t,o Choice of

and only a very small fraction of t,hp KO,liberates halogen. Life. If t h e supply of ozone is relatively high---c.g., 100 x7.p.m. of Oa in 100 mi. of air p w niinirt,c,, corresponding to 1338-pa. output----the capacitv of the carhon surface for rhemisorpt,ion may become eshaust)rtl. How soon this will happrn depend.: o i i the quantity, nature, and liistory of the anode material used. - i n advance indication that exhaustion is approached is a sluggish response bo ozone. Eventually free bromine builds up in the electrolyte. I n the continuous monitoring of atmospheric ozone, the amount of carbon roughly suggested by Figure 1 should be sufficient for many months of operation. At high concentrations (unless brought down by dilution as described) larger carbon beds are indicated. It is possible to use the same carbon bed indefinitely, if after prolonged use at high ozone level it is “charged” by a cathodic treatment. -is the auxiliary anode a platinum wire in a separate glass t’himble with KCI solution may be used, with a paper wick junction reaching into the cell electrolyte during the treatment a t the point where normally the air leaves the cell. Other Applications. The c ~ lshould l he applicable t o the continuous a n d ysis of reducing species and of olefins in a gas stream. To this end t h e stream n~ould be pro\-ided n-ith a const,ant background of ozone generated pliotochemically, by silent discharge, or by electrolysis. .4 reducent species emerging in the air carrier stream would depress the level of ozone and

therefore the galvanic output of the cell.

A transiently emerging reducent would generate a negative peak in the recording of an area stoichiometrically related to the quantity of this species. The cell may thus serve as a not very fast, but selective and highly sensitive detector for gas chromatography. The carrier qtream leaving the column may be made to converge with a stream of ozonized air, and the mixed stream passed into the ozone sensor. It is also possible to mix the carrier leaving the column with air and to irradiate the reducent and oxygen together. The procedure outlined for ozone is, evidently, also applicable to the determination of free halogen, which may enter the cell carried b y a gas stream or be added to the cell as a batch sample. Indirect analysis should be possible in this way of many oxidants producing free halogen, and of many reducents consuming free halogen. The writers believe that the cell described opens the way for a new analytical technique, “galvanic halometry.” LITERATURE CITED

Stabilized Diazonium Salts as Analytical Reagents for the Determination of Air-Borne Phenols and Amines G. A. LUGG Department of Supply, Australian Defence Scientific Service, Defence Standards Laboratories, Maribyrnong, Victoricr, Australia

b Commercially-available stabilized diazonium salts h a w been used for simple and rapid plpocedures for the determination of 24 toxic phenols and aromatic amines. After initial spottesting with 25 diazci reagents a t four p H levels optimum reaction conditions were determined. ‘The vapor of a representative seleciion of the compounds was sampled and in each case a t least 8OY0 of the amount recovered was collected in the first bubbler. Interference is likely to b e mainly from accompanying nitro compounds. The sensitivity of the methods varies considerably, but the corn-

pounds can all b e determined in air a t concentrations of interest in hygiene studies. Data are presented on the precision and accuracy of the methods.

T

for the determination of phenols is the coupling reaction of aromatic amine-nitrous acid-phenol; the diazo reagent prepared from sulfanilic acid has been widely used (S), but i t is unstable and must be prepared immediately before w e . d favored procedure for amines involves diazotization with nitrous acid and then reaction with a suitable coupling agent ( 2 ) . HE CLASSICAL METHOD

The advantages of stabilized diazonium salts over the diazotization procedure were noted by Pearl and lIcCoy (6, 7 ) who employed commercially-produced, stable diazo salts as chromatographic spray reagents for phenolic compounds related to wood chemistry, and also by Lambert and Cates (4) who used polyanion-stabilized diazonium cations as spot test reagents for phenols and amines. Commercial diazonium salts have therefore been investigated as reagents for the determination of toxic phenols and amines in air. Employing the most suitable conditions of pH and the VOL. 35, NO. 7.

RESULTS AND Dl!jCUSSlON

The spot test resuls in Tables I11 and IV do not include E,ome compounds, buffer concentrations, and diazo reagents. Quinone and hydroquinone gave only light colors er cept under alkali conditions when the color was due mostly to the action of the buffer. Phenol colors became more intense with increasing pH; at pH 4 only a-naphthol and pyrogallol gave significant colors. On the other hand the more intense colors produced by the amines with most diazo salts were at p H 4 and 7. The diazo reagents varied in their efficiency aq color producers. Some were unsuitable: the aqueous solution of Red AL mas unstable.; the reagent blank of Black K was excessively colored; Orange R S gave only light colors; Garnet GBC, Blue 2B, Blue VB, and Violet B ga7:e strong colors only with the most reactive compounds and little with the others; Red RC, Red TR, Corinth T', and Red C T R gave little reaction with amines; Red K B gave no color. However, Red GG gave intense stable colors n-ith most compcunds and it also had a low blank. Red GL and Scarlet G G gave strong stabll: color.; with a number of compounds. Bordeaux GP, Red B, and Blue B gave strong coIors with m o d compounds but gave high blanks at alkaline pH and were slightly unstable in solution. The remaining diazo salts listed in Table I gave good, but less intense, colors. Quantitative procedures were not developed for all the cornpounds in Tables I11 and IV. Aniline and amidol (2,4-dianiino phenol hydrochloride) gave yellow colorq with absordion maxima in the ultraviolet, but b3th compounds themselves had ultraviolet absorption maxima of sensitivity approximately equal t o that obtained with the diazo reagent. Para isomers generally gave weak colors because voupling occurs mainly in this position. Generally each coniFound gave differrnt shades of color with the various diazo reagents, the 2,mines tending toward yellow and the phenols toward red. By reference to Tgtbles I11 and IV i t would be possible in some cases to differentiate the compounds or isomers which could occur qiniultaneously in air--?.g., it is possible to determine ocrew1 in the pre.ence o ' the m- and pisomers by employing Fast Red LTR a t p H 7. These tables also indicate altcrriative tlinzo reagents to use if the reagent I econimended in Table I1 is un-
