Abstract:
A simple and accurate spectrophotometric method for determination of trace and ultra-trace amounts of Al3+ ion in tap and wastewater sample has been described. Using the eriochrome cyanine R (ECR) in the presence of N,N-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) as cationic surfactant spectrophotometric determination of Al3+ ion has been carried out. The Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range of 4-400 ng mL(-1) of Al3+ ion with the detection limits of 0.14 ng mL(-1), while the molar absorptivity of complexes is 1.19x10(5) L mol(-1) cm(-1). The influence of type and amount of surfactant, pH, and amount of ligand on sensitivity of spectrophotometric method were optimized. The method has been successfully applied for Al3+ ion determination in real sample.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...

EDTA: Direct, Back-, and Displacement Titration
Direct titration involves buffering the metal ion solution to the desired pH and directly titrating with standard EDTA until the endpoint. The optimum pH ensures a large conditional formation constant of metal−EDTA and visibility of the free indicator color in the solution.
