Abstract: The sensitizing action of mixed surfactants(SDS-OP) in the ingrain reaction of zinc and xylenol orange developmentwas studied. With mixed surfactants SDS and OP, in a pH 5.4~6.0 buffer solution, the reaction formed a steady purplish red complex compound. The absorption maxima lied at 580 nm with its apparent molar absorptivity of 1.15×105Lmol•cm. Beer’s law was obeyed in the range of 0.0~28.0μgml for zinc(Ⅱ). Equation was: A = 0.295C+0.001.

Key words: mixed surfactant, xylenol orange, spectrophptometry, zinc iron
