A simple, sensitive, and selective method for rapid determination of ultratrace quantities of formaldehyde based on its inhibitory effect on the malachite green-sulfite reaction is described. The reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance at 613 nm at a fixe

✦ Synopsis
A flow-injection system is proposed for the rapid determination of trace amounts of formaldehyde based on its inhibition of the Brilliant Green-suiphite reaction at pI1 7. Formaldehyde in the range 40-3000 ng ml-' can be determined at a rate of 35 f 5 samples h -I. The limit of detection was 20 ng ml -'_ The relative standard deviation for the determination of 1 ;rg ml-' formaldehyde was 0.2%. The method was applied lo the determination of formaldehyde in melamine-formaldehyde resin and chemical industria; waste water.

High sensitivity is obtained by using high concentrations of gallic acid and bromate, although the uncatalyzed reaction is significant. Various reactant concentrations, reaction temperature, pH and residence times can be used to alter the linear calibration ranges and sensitivity for vanadium. With
