Using the extract of pomegranate peel as a natural indicator for colorimetric detection and simultaneous determination of Fe3+ and Fe2+ by partial least squares–artificial neural network
Abstract:A simple, novel, biocompatible, and sensitive spectrophotometric method was developed for colorimetric detection and speciation of Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions. The method is based on the complex formation of Fe3+ and Fe2+ with organic constituents containing functional groups in pomegranate peel extract (PG). Developing of the color is specifically established in the presence of Fe3+ and Fe2+. Accordingly, in addition to direct detection of both cations, we carried out a quantitative multivariate model for their accura… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
