EPA Method 9067:
PHENOLICS (SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC, MBTH WITH DISTILLATION)

Summary:
This method is based on the coupling of phenol with MBTH in an acid medium using ceric ammonium sulfate as an oxidant. The coupling takes place in the p-position; if this position is occupied, the MBTH reagent will react at a free o-position. The colors obtained have maximum absorbance from 460 to 595 nm. For phenol and most phenolic mixtures, the absorbance is 520 and 490 nm.

Scope:
This method is applicable to the analysis of ground water, drinking, surface, and saline waters, and domestic and industrial wastes.
