The resonance light-scattering spectrum of Acridine orange in phosphoric acid medium was enhanced significantly in the presence of KI-Cr(Ⅵ) solution. The spectral characteristics, the affecting factors and the optimum conditions of the reaction were thus investigated. A new method based on the relationship of the intensity of resonance light-scattering to the concentration of chromium(Ⅵ) in water sample was established. This method can be operated conveniently at ambient temperature with high sensitivity and good selectivity. The detection li...
