Abstract: The chemilluminescent reaction of iso-propyl alcohol with ClO--H2O2which is enhanced by acetaldehyde is reported. Based on this chemiluminescent reaction, a new method for the determination of trace acetaldehyde is developed. The detection limit is 1. 0×10-10g/mL acetaldehyde and the linear dynamic range is more than three orders of magnitude. The method has been satisfactorily applied to the determination of trace acetaldehyde in waste water samples of organic chemical plant.
