A flow injection (FI) electrochemical detection system has been developed and optimized for the determination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in contaminated soil. PCP was oxidized to tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (1,4-TCBQ) with a high yield using bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodobenzene in 0.1 M tartaric acid, pH 2.0, at ambient temperature. Upon rapid reaction with immobilized glucose oxidase, the detection and amplification scheme was completed as the reduced form of 1,4-TCBQ or tetrachloro-1,4-hydroquinone was reoxidized to 1,4-TCBQ at the surface of the glassy carbon electrode (+ 0.40 V vs Ag/AgCl). Rapid electron exchange between the enzyme and its glucose substrate provided a non-rate-limiting current toward the electrode. The FI electrochemical system was linear up to 1 μM oxidized PCP with a detection limit of 10 nM and exhibited a reproducibility of ±0.6% over 165 repeated analyses during 14 h of continuous operation. When applied to PCP-contaminated soil samples, the results obtained from the FI electrochemical system compared well with those of the HPLC standard method.
