Abstract

     Reagent extracted from purple sweet potato was used to enable detection of Cu2+ in water by the naked-eye. The optimum conditions for this were determined by adding 10 mL of reagent to a mixture of 500 mL of buffer pH 7 (0.01 M) and a 200 mL water sample. The lowest concentration of Cu2+ able to be detected by the naked-eye was 3x10-4 M without any interfering effects. This method was validated by comparing Cu2+ concentration detected with the AAS technique. The results show that Cu2+ concentrations obtained from both techniques were similar.
