Spectrophotometric determination of cationic surfactants in water with an anionic dye-Disulphine Blue.

Aggregation of an anionic azo dye with conventional cationic surfactants in premicellar region: A conductometric study

The interaction of Congo Red CR with a series of Alkyltrimethylamoniumbromide CnTAB, N-hexadecylpyridinium bromide CPB and N-hexadecylpyridinium CPC were investigated using conductometry technique. It was observed that the formation of dye-surfactant ion pairs takes place at surfactant concentration far below the critical micelle concentration of the individual surfactants. Aggregation was refl...

Spectrophotometric determination of anionic surfactants in wastewater using acridine orange

A simple and rapid spectrophotometric method for the determination of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), an anionic surfactant (AS) is developed. SDS forms a yellow coloured complex with acridine orange (ACO), a cationic dye. The complex is extracted in toluene. The absorbance of the complex in toluene layer is measured at maximum wavelength (λmax) of 467 nm. The calibration curve is linear in the ...

Application of membrane filters for spectrophotometric determination of cationic surfactants in river water and sediment.

Cationic surfactant (CS+) in urban river water and sediment was extracted and determined spectrophotometrically with 2 membrane filters. The CS+ in the water samples, mostly in the form of an ion associate with the coexisting anionic surfactant (AS), was collected on a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane filter and eluted with methanol. Bromphenol blue (BPB), hydrochloric acid, and water we...

Use of Variamine Blue Dye in Spectrophotometric Determination of Water Soluble Cr(VI) in Portland Cement

Variamine blue dye as chromogenic reagent was used for Portland cement samples in determination of soluble hexavalent chromium. This method was based on the reaction of Cr(VI) with potassium iodide in acidic medium to liberate iodine, which oxidized variamine blue to form a violet colored species having an absorption maximum 556 nm. The extraction of soluble Cr(VI) for quantification in cement ...
