Colorimetric determination of trace orthophosphate in water by using C18-functionalized silica coated magnetite

Abstract In this study, we customized magnetic sorbents by functionalizing silica coated magnetite with octadecyl(C18)silane (Fe3O4@SiO2@C18). This sorbent was intended for the determination of trace orthophosphate (o-PO4 3−) in unpolluted freshwater samples. The o-PO4 3− was transformed to phosphom...
