Objective:To develop a method for the determination of the hydroxyl free radical (·OH) produced by Fenton reaction. Methods:The color intensity of toluidine blue changed after the oxidation reaction and the change in absorbance, ΔA was measured photometrically and the amount of ·OH produced could be determined indirectly. The determination condition was studied and an optimum condition had been obtained. Results:The change in absorbance, ΔA 612 , was related quantitatively with the amount of toluidine blue and the reactants H 2O 2 and FeSO ...
