The method is based on the two step reaction. First step is arsenic (Ⅲ) and iodate reaction in the acid medium of pH=1.1. In this step, iodine is liberated proportionally according to the amounts of arsenic (Ⅲ). Next step is the reaction of liberated iodine with leuco dyes in pH= 4-5. In this work, the leuco dyes was comparatively studied. The employed leuco dyes are malachite green (LMG), leuco crystal violet (LCV) and leuco berberin blue Ⅰ (LBB). The oxidized leuco dyes was determined by spectrophotometry. Beer’s law is obeyed in the range of 0.1-0.1μg mL<sup>-1 </sup>as arsenic. The molar coefficient for arsenic (Ⅲ) was around 4×10<sup>4</sup> l mol<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-1 </sup>with each leuco dyes. In these leuco dyes, LBB was suitable as reagent because not influenced temperature, concentration of iodate and LBB, and rapid reaction time.</p> <p> </p><p> </p>}, number={1}, journal={Asian Journal of Applied Sciences}, author={Kamaya, Minori and Ito, Yusuke and Otomura, Yuki and Ginatullina, Elena}, year={2015}, month={Feb.} }
