Determination of LOD of RFMS:

Limit of detection (LOD) for our probe has been determined by 3σ method by the following

equation: DL = K* Sb1/S. Where K = 2 or 3 (3 in this case); here Sb1 is the standard deviation

of the blank solution (Fig. s13); and S is the slope of the calibration curve obtained from Linear

dynamic plot of F.I. vs [M3+

] µM (Fig. s14, s15 and s16).

Here Sb1= 949.1195, S= 526941.52 (for Al3+

), 310077.16 (for Cr3+

) and 3939.36 (for Fe3+

).

LOD of Al3+

= (3 × 949.1195)/ (541803.820) = 5.40 nM

LOD of Cr3+

= (3 × 949.1195)/ (448979.334) = 9.18 nM

LOD of Fe3+

= (3 × 949.1195)/ (4566.881) = 722.80 nM

Determination of various cations adsorbed on RFMS by Titrimetric Method

Strength of the stock solutions:

Zn-acetate =1.002 (M/100)

Lead nitrate=1.001 (M/100)

Potassium dichromate=1.004 (N/100)

Na2EDTA = 1.005 (M/100)

Determination of Fe3+

Estimated by direct titration with potassium dichromate solution.

Volume of Potassium dichromate solution need for 25 mLof iron solution = 23.7mL

Volume of Potassium dichromate solution need for 25 mL of iron solution treated with 0.10 g of

RFMS =15.4 mL

Therefore in 25 mL of iron solution Fe3+

present = 0.01328g

After treating with RFMS in 25 ml of iron solution Fe3+

present = 0.00863 g

Amount of Fe3+

adsorbed by 0.10 g of RFMS = 0.00465 g

Determination of Zn2+

Estimated by direct titration with Na2EDTA solution.

Volume of Na2EDTA solution need for 25 mL of zinc solution =23.1 mL

Volume of Na2EDTA solution need for 25 mLof zinc solution treated with 0.10 g of RFMS =22

mL

Therefore in 25 ml of zinc solution, Zn2+

present = 0.01517 g

After treating with 0.10 g of RFMS in 25 mLof zinc solution, Zn2+

present = 0.01445 g

Amount of Zn2+

adsorbed by 0.10 g of RFMS =0.00072 g

Determination of Pb2+

Estimated by back titration of excess Na2EDTA with zinc acetate solution. (25 mL metal ion +

50mLNa2EDTA solution)

Volume of zinc acetate solution need for 25 mL of Pb2+

solution = 25.6 mL

Volume of zinc acetate solution need for 25 mL of Pb2+

solution treated with 0.10 g of RFMS =

26.2 mL

Page 12: sensing of Al3+, Cr3+ and Fe3+ ions and their removal from ...1 Rhodamine functionalized mesoporous silica as chemosensor for efficient sensing of Al3+, Cr3+ and Fe3+ ions and their

12

Therefore in 25 mL of lead solution Pb2+

present = 0.050333 g

After treating with 0.10 g of RFMS in 25 mL of lead solution Pb2+

present= 0.049827 g

Amount of Pb2+

adsorbed by 0.10 g of RFMS = 0.000503 g

For mixture also 0.10 g of RFMS is taken in every case

Determination of Pb2+

and Fe3+

in a mixture

Iron adsorbed =0.0034 g

Lead adsorbed = 0.00221 g

Determination of Zn2+

and Fe3+

in a mixture

Iron adsorbed =0.00425 g

Zincadsorbed = 0.00121 g
