Abstract

An optical probe for chromate ion has been obtained by the sol-gel technique by depositing a porous film containing the reagent diphenylcarbazide on a glass support. Changes in the absorption of light as a result of the (irreversible) formation of a purple product between chromate and the reagent inside the sol-gel are monitored. The detection limit for chromate anion is as low as 1 ppb, but only ...
