ResumoSeveral fluorimetric reactions for the determination of cyanide by means of flow injection systems were tested. The first reaction is based on the displacement of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (HQS) from the Pd(HQS) 2 complex by cyanide ion and the subsequent reaction of free HQS with Mg II to form a fluorescent species. Secondly, the inhibitory effect of cyanide on the reaction between iodine and fluorescein was also evaluated as a method to quantify cyanide. The third method is based on the detection of an isoindole derivative formed by the reaction of o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) or 2,3-naphthalenedialdehyde (NDA) with glycine in the presence of cyanide. Chemical and hydrodynamic parameters were optimized for each system and the analytical performance of the methods was established. Detection limits of 5 µg l - 1 (fluorescein–iodine method), 0.40 µg l - 1 (Pd–HQS–Mg method), 0.25 µg l - 1 (OPA method) and 0.03 µg l - 1 (NDA method) were obtained.
