"Liquid Chromatography And Electrochemical Detection Of Organic Peroxides By Reduction At An Iron Phthalocyanine Chemically Modified Electrode"
Electroanalysis 1993 Volume 5, Issue 7 Pages 547-554
Xiaohe Qi, Richard P. Baldwin

Abstract: Iron phthalocyanine (2%) was incorporated into carbon paste to form an electrode that could be used in 0.05 M phosphate buffer at pH 2 for the amperometric detection of organic peroxides (excluding dialkyl peroxides) at +0.1 V (minimum) vs. Ag/AgCl. Detection limits (pmol) measured for operation at +0.35 V ranged from 0.13 for peracetic acid to 300 for 1-[(1-hydroperoxycyclohexyl)dioxy]cyclohexanol. No response was shown for a 500-pmol injection of t-butyl peroxide, but the detection limit was 1.0 pmol for 2-butanone peroxide. The method was suitable for use in FIA or HPLC and 10% acetonitrile could be added to the mobile phase.

"A New And Rapid Method For The Analysis Of Peracetic Acid From Bleach Activators"
Jorn. Com. Esp. Deterg. 1989 Volume 20, Issue 1 Pages 459-465
A.J. Gradwell, J.C. Schofield

Abstract: A simulated wash liquor (~30 g of detergent in 1500 mL of water) at 20°C was sampled for 30 min at 1-min intervals and the aliquot mixed with 10% KI solution and aqueous acetic acid. The I3- formed was determined spectrophotometrically at 401 nm to determine the amount of peracetic acid (I) present. The method is more precise than titration in the early stages of I formation and has the potential for real-time sampling of washing process solution.
