Outline of Final Research Achievements

It was found that color reaction with dynamic color change by controlled conventional color reaction on cellulose membrane. Moreover, by use of membrane with the color reaction on, visual analysis of fluoride by count of number of discoloring could be established. Furthermore, the proposed method was evaluated by field test at Tunisia. As a result, it is found that this proposed method suited for on-site analysis in Tunisia, in portability and simplicity of operation. we would like to attempted to improved performance of proposed method as sensitivity of discoloring.
