The invention relates to a method used for detecting
manganese ions in drinking water. The method is used for solving a technical problem that detection concentration of
fluorescence detection via
quenching or strengthening is high. The method comprises following steps: 1, a dibenzoyltartaric acid
rare earth complex is dissolved in a N,N'-
dimethylformamide solution so as to obtain a
mixed solution; 2, drinking water and the
mixed solution are mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1,
ultraviolet irradiation is adopted, and the color of an obtained
mixed solution product is observed, wherein, when the concentration of
manganese ions in drinking water is higher than 0.05ppm, the color of the mixed solution product is changed from white to blue. The method is simple; detection concentration is low;
white light materials are used for detecting
manganese ions in drinking water, when the concentration of manganese ions is equal to or higher than 0.05ppm, the color of the white materials is changed into blue;
detection limit accords with
world health organization standards. The invention belongs to the technical field of detecting of manganese ions in drinking water.
