Determination of Al(III) from aqueous samples using Chrome Azurol S (CAS) as reagent immobilized in polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) was discussed. The PIMs was prepared using poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (2-NPOE) and Aliquat 336 as polymer matrix, solvent and ion carrier...
