Distance readout of Al content with naked eyes on a cotton thread
We described a facile method for distance-based detection of aluminum on a thread based on the adsorption of formed complex onto thread. Chrome azurol S (CAS) containing Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTMAB) were used as chromogenic reagent, which reacts with aluminum to form AL-CAS-CTMAB complex o...
