Colorimetric determination of manganese in lake waters

This work proposes a novel approach for colorimetric assays using ubiquitous and inexpensive water beads (WBs) made of a superabsorbent polymer (sodium polyacrylate). The high-water absorption capacity by the WBs was exploited for the preconcentration of iron ions from samples of tap, well, and lake waters. Moreover, the WBs also worked as a substrate for colorimetric detection of iron by the classical reaction of formation of Fe(II)-phenanthroline complex. Digital images acquired with a smartphone were used to obtain the color intensity of the WBs containing the orange color complex. The WBs were able to uptake and preconcentrate iron ions, allowing colorimetric detection with good linearity (R2 = 0.9978) and limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of 0.02 and 0.07 mg L-1, respectively. The proposed method provided recoveries ranging from 93 to 111% for a sample of well water spiked with 0.15 mg L-1 of iron.

A sensitive colorimetric determination of fluoride in drinking water has been developed using a polymeric zirconium complex of 5-(2-Carboxyphenylazo)-8-Hydroxyquinoline as fluoride reagents. The method allowed a reliable determination of fluoride in range of (0.0-1.5) mg L-1. The molar absorptivity of the complex formation is 7695 ± 27 L mol-1 cm-1 at 460 nm. The sensitivity, detection limit, quantitation limit, and percentage recovery for 1.0 mg L-1 fluoride for the proposed method were found to be 0.353 ± 0.013 μg mL-1, 0.1 mg L-1, 0.3 mg L-1, and 101.7 ± 4.1, respectively.

Label Claim

We proposed two simple, rapid, and convenient spectrophotometric methods are described for the determination of Amoxicillin in bulk and its pharmaceutical preparations. They are based on the measurement of the flame atomic emission of potassium ion (in first method) and colorimetric determination of the green colored solution for manganite ion at 610 nm formed after reaction of Amoxicillin with potassium permanganate as oxidant agent (in the second method) in basic medium. The working conditions of the methods were investigated and optimized. Beer's law plot showed a good correlation in the concentration range of 5-45 μg/ml. The detection limits and relative standared deviations were (2.573, 2.814 μg/ml) (2.137, 2.498) for the flame emission photometric method and (1.844, 2.016 μg/ml) (1.645,1.932) for colorimetric methods for capsules and suspensions respectively. The methods were successfully applied to the determination of Amoxicillin in capsules and suspensions, and the obtained results were in good agreement with the label claim. No interference was observed from the commonly encountered additives and expectancies.
