Electrochemical biosensor-based devices for continuous phenols monitoring in environmental matrices

A flow system method for continuous determination of phenolic compounds in environmental matrices was employed using a dialysis membrane sampler and laccase- and tyrosinase-based biosensors as detector. The biosensors response to different phenolic compounds was investigated. The laccase-based biose...

description A flow system method for continuous determination of phenolic compounds in environmental matrices was employed using a dialysis membrane sampler and laccase- and tyrosinase-based biosensors as detector. The biosensors response to different phenolic compounds was investigated. The laccase-based biosensor showed high sensitivity to guaiacol and chloroguaiacol, while the tyrosinase-based biosensor was more sensitive to phenol and chlorophenol. Both of the biosensors presented highly selective measurements of micromolar concentration of these compounds. Detection limits around 1.1 x 10-7 mol L-1 for guaiacol and 1.9 x 10-7 mol L-1 for chloroguaiacol could be estimated for the laccase-based biosensor. Using the tyrosinase-based biosensor detection limits of 1.5 x 10-7 mol L-1 for phenol and 9.0 x 10-8 mol L-1 for chlorophenol were observed. The proposed flow method presented a linear response range between 1.0 mumol L-1 and 100.0 mumol L-1, in the optimized operational conditions (laccase-based biosensor: pH 5.0 and 0 mV vs Ag/AgCl as working potential; tyrosinase-based biosensor: pH 5.5 and 50 mV vs Ag/AgCl as working potential). Real paper mill effluent sample was analyzed by this system and by the reference colorimetric method and the results were discussed.
