J Environ Sci Health B. 2023;58(10):628-636. doi: 10.1080/03601234.2023.2262348. Epub 2023 Oct 5.

Abstract

In this study, a resonance Rayleigh scattering technique-based sensing method for detecting Bentazone residual in water samples has been developed. This technique was carried out using chitosan-capped gold nanoparticles with a spectrofluorimetric method. Experimental results revealed that the developed method could allow the detection of Bentazone residual as low as a concentration of 0.02 ng mL-1 within 50-sec time. Overall results confirmed the very low detection limit for measuring the Bentazone. The chitosan-capped gold nanoparticles as an excellent sensor were applied to measure and analyze Bentazone in water samples.

Keywords: Bentazone; chitosan-capped gold nanoparticles; detection limit; resonance Rayleigh scattering.
