Abstract

This study aims to test the performance and feasibility of new tools and methods for analysis of detergent based on the photocatalytic degradation of LAS and ABS, which is a detergent active compound. Testing is done by measuring the CO2 gas formed from the degradation at every one-hour for five hours of reaction. The results of the determination of analytical parameters are as follows, sensitivity: 0.394 to 0.460, the limit of detection: 0.16 mg/L, accuracy: 0.94% to 12.88% and punctilio: 0.12% to 0.14%, the range of linearity: 0.4 mg/L to 2 mg/L. Results of calibration using standard solutions obtained regression equation y = 1.033 x - 77.713 with R2 = 0.988, indicating that the instrument has been calibrated and fit for use for the analysis of LAS and ABS with concentrations above or equal to 25 mg/L. The test results showed that the developed method is practical, effective and efficient.
