INTRODUCTION  The method is designed to measure mass concentration of aluminum in samples of natural, drinking and  waste water by fluorometric method using the FLUORAT® -02 analyzer.  

MEASUREMENT METHOD  The measurement method is based on interaction of aluminum ions with  lumogallion in the acetate buffer medium (pH 4.6–4.9). In the presence  of a masking agent, ascorbic acid, this reaction results in formation of a  fluorescent complex and is followed by determination of aluminum  concentration using the FLUORAT® -02 analyzer.
