Interaction between Surfactant and Dye. IV. Application of the Acridine Orange Method to the Survey of Pollution of Alkylbenzene Sulfonate in Rivers and the Survey of Water Pollution in Kinokawa

Abstract

The previously reported Acridine Orange method for the determination of alkylbenzene sulfonate was applied to the survey of pollution in rivers water and in kinokawa. The proposed method gave a little higher values than the official method using Methylen Blue, but the former was better because of its small coefficient of variation. It was concluded from the results that the proposed method would be available as a routine one for the survey of pollution of alkylbenzene sulfonate in river water.
