title: Determination of Cu(II) and Zn(II) using silica gel loaded with 1-(2-thiasolylazo)-2-naphthol.
abstract: The silica gel with 1-(2-thiasolylazo)-2-naphthol adsorbed was obtained. The adsorption of Cu(II) and Zn(II) from an aqueous solution onto loaded silica gel was studied. The capabilities of 1-(2-thiasolylazo)-2-naphthol immobilized for Cu(II) and Zn(II) preconcentration, visual and diffusion reflectance spectroscopic detection was evaluated. The detection limits were 10 and 15 microg.l(-1), respectively. Visual test scales for metal ions determination in the range 0.65-13 microg per sample were worked out. The developed methods were applied to Cu(II) and Zn(II) determination in natural and tap water. The obtained results agreed well with the reported value.
