Abstract:In this study novel approaches for determining trace levels of phosphate in aqueous pore water solutions are described. Phosphate in aqueous samples (freshwater, drinking water, soil pore water) forms an aggregate compound with molybdate and Rhodamine B in 1M HCl. Incident light directed at the Rhodamine B molybdo-phosphate aggregate follows a second order light scattering behaviour. A bench top fluorescence spectrophotometer was used for examining the light scattering properties of the aggregate as well as fo… Show more
