Spectrophotometric Determination of Zinc in Food Waste Water Samples in the Presence of Surfactants Using Dithizone Method

Abstract

The food waste water quality of sampling points of restaurant were collected within the Bilaspur city limit state Chhattisgarh India by determining some physicochemical parameter of the water samples using standard analytical techniques. The results of physicochemical parameters (pH, temperature, turbidity, conductivity, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, total solids, Alkalinity and dissolved oxygen) revealed high variations in the concentrations of physicochemical parameters. Therefore, it is imperative that the water sources should be monitored regularly and be subjected to further treatments in order to reduce the concentrations of the few identified pollution indicators that may pose some dangers to the health of people living in this area. The aim of the present study is to develop a simpler direct uv- spectrophotometric method for the trace determination of lead with dithizone in the presence of inexpensive anionic micelles, such as sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), in aqueous solutions.
