PHOSPHATE COLORIMETRIC ANALYSIS USING A DESKTOP SCANNER AND AUTOMATED DIGITAL IMAGE ANALYSIS:A DIDATICAL EXAMPLE TO TEACH COLORIMETRIC ANALYSES. We propose here the quantification of the phosphorus content in cola drinks by molybdenum blue method. Molybdenum blue method was carried out in the wells of a microplate, where method miniaturization represents reduction in reagents required, improved safety, reduced waste stream, and increased sample throughput. The phosphate concentration was determinate using scanned images of the microplate. Extraction of RGB values was carried out using ImageJ, the pugling Readplate was used allowing extraction of RGB values of all wells simultaneously. A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet is afforded in Google Drive, it organize data taken from ImageJ to afford calibrations curves and phosphate concentration in cola drinks. Calibration curves were prepared at 500-2500 µg L -1 of P with good linearity (R > 0.95). Phosphate concentrations in cola drinks determinate using digital images method are statistically equivalent to concentrations determined using a spectroscopic method at a 95% confidence interval.Keywords: RGB; digital image; ImageJ; phosphate. INTRODUÇÃONas últimas décadas, vários métodos colorimétricos foram adaptados para microplacas, em especial, na área clínica e em análises ambientais. As vantagens de adaptar os métodos tradicionais são a redução no uso de reagentes e consequente menor geração de resíduos químicos. No entanto, o uso de técnicas de microescala empregando microplacas, em sala de aula, é provavelmente limitada pelo custo elevado (ordem de US$ 10.000) dos leitores de microplacas. 1 Normalmente, as imagens digitais utilizam o sistema Red, Green e Blue (RGB) para a definição de cores. Nesse sistema, cada tom de cor é definido por três canais: R (vermelho), G (verde) e B (azul), que variam como índices inteiros entre 0 e 255, onde o 0 corresponde à cor preta e o 255 corresponde ao R ou G ou B puros. Desta forma, no sistema RGB, um tom de cor corresponde a um ponto em um espaço tridimensional formado pelos eixos R, G e B, sendo possível a geração de 16 milhões de cores diferentes (256 3 ). 2A absorbância é definida de acordo com a Equação 1. A potência de um feixe (P), transmitida através de uma célula com a solução do analito, é comparada com a potência que atravessa uma célula idên-tica contendo somente o solvente ou o branco dos reagentes (P 0 ). De acordo com a lei Beer-Lambert, a absorbância (A) é proporcional a concentração do analito. (1)Kohl et al.3 desenvolveram uma prática de ensino que mostrou que o princípio da absorbância pode ser facilmente demonstrada utilizando soluções coloridas e análises de imagens digitais. A prática de ensino consistia em fotografar um conjunto de cubetas contendo corante amarelo em diferentes concentrações e uma cubeta contendo apenas água destilada. Os valores de G foram obtidos para as cubetas que continham o corante amarelo e G 0 foi obtido da cubeta que continha apenas água destilada. Posteriormente, estes valores foram u...
This manuscript describes a laboratory practice for chemistry teaching, it consists in determination of manganese percentage (m/m) in battery using digital images obtained with a flatbed scanner. 100 mg of battery were digested in nitric acid and oxidized to MnO 4 using IO 4 -. Calibration solutions were prepared by successive dilutions of a KMnO 4 solution. Calibration solutions and sample solutions were placed in a 96 microwells plate, then, the plaque was scanned and RGB values were extracted from scanned image using ImageJ. Manganese percentage in battery was also carried out using a spectrophotometer at 526 nm, where both methods showed equivalent results at a 95% confidence interval.
