Abstract
Effect of Triton X-100 on the Spectrophotometric Determination of Aluminium in the Presence of Iron(III) - Application to Various Water Samples
Highlights
Aluminium is a silvery white member of the boron group of chemical elements
Reactive aluminium is present throughout the human body and while, rarely, it can be acutely toxic, much less is understood about chronic aluminium intoxication
Aluminum has been shown by independent researchers to be genotoxic to the genetic apparatus, and it has become reasonably clear that aluminum disturbs genetic signaling programs in the CNS that bear a surprising resemblance to those observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. (Pogue and Lukiw, 2016) Several Spectrophotometric methods have been used for the determination of aluminium, some of these methods have used different kinds of reagent such as alizarin red S (Eder et al, 2015), Eriochrome Cyanine R (Siriangkhawut et al, 2013), 5-Bromo-2-hydroxy-3methoxybenzaldehyde-p-hydroxybenzoic hydrazone, (Saritha and Reddy 2014), 2hydroxynaphthaldehydebenzoylhydrazone (Jamaluddin et al, 2010), 8-hydroxyquinoline (Santarossa et al, 2016), (Panhwar et al, 2018), N-((2-hydroxy-naphthalen-1-yl)methylene) acetylhydrazide (Al-Kindy et al, 2015), Chrome Azurol S (Ni et al, 2007) and (Shishov et al, 2014)
Summary
Aluminium is a silvery white member of the boron group of chemical elements. It is not soluble in water under normal circumstances. The human population is exposed to aluminium (Al) from diet, antacids and vaccine adjuvants, but frequent application of Al-based salts to the underarm as antiperspirant adds a high additional exposure directly to the local area of the human breast (Exley, 2013). Aluminium's free metal cation, Alaq3+, is highly biologically reactive. Reactive aluminium is present throughout the human body and while, rarely, it can be acutely toxic, much less is understood about chronic aluminium intoxication. Alzheimer's disease is a symptom of chronic aluminium intoxication over decades (Exley, 2016). Xylenol orange known as 3,3'-Bis [N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)aminomethyl]-ocresolsulfonephthalein tetra sodium salt is an organic reagent, most commonly used as a tetrasodium salt as an indicator for metal titrations (Marczenko, 2000)
