Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we tried to develop a new simplified water quality analysis method that utilizes a digital camera as a spectroscopic detector in order to improve the water quality analysis at the school education. According to this research, we developed the simplified analysis methods with high precision and high sensitivity for (1) colorimetric determination of trace metals using solvent extraction, (2) atomic emission spectrometry by flame reaction and (3) colorimetric method of COD. Using these methods, we can improve the quality of water quality analysis and expand new possibilities at school education.
