The chemiluminescence (CL) accompanying the oxidation of phenyl hydrazine with t-butylhydroperoxide in alkaline medium was studied in the presence and absence of luminol. The reaction occurring between phenyl hydrazine and alkaline (KOH) solution of aqueous t-butylhydroperoxide leads to the production of nitrogen gas with simultaneous emission of light (CL), which has been detected by PMT and recorded with the aid of PC using interface. The CL intensity was enhanced by addition of 10-3 M luminol solution. The influence of concentration of various constituent of reaction was investigation. The effect of antibiotic sensitizer aureomycine has also been studied.

Chemiluminescence, Phenyl hydrazine hydrochloride; Luminol; t-butylhydroperoxide (t-BuOOH); Aureomycine
