The optimized conditions for the interaction were investigated by spectrofluorometry and were found to be at 0.2 mg/mL (0.176 mM) of ¦Â-CD and pH 8.8. For these conditions, very low concentration of Dapsone drug of 2.4 ng/mL (12.97 nM) can be detected. The standard addition method was utilized to detect Dapsone in influent and effluent wastewater samples in the sub parts per billion concentration range by HPLC-FLD using ¦Â-CD as an additive in the mobile phase %U http://www.sciepub.com/WJCE/abstract/10970
