A new reagent system for determination of zinc [0] and zinc [II] is proposed. Utilizing the developed reagent system chemo sensor was constructed by immobilizing potassium ferri cyanide and diphenyl amine on Whatman filter paper. The reaction is based on oxidation of potassium ferri cyanide by diphenyl amine and then complexation of zinc to result into a greenish blue colored spot followed by scanner based detection. Changes in RGB values of colored spots on Whatman paper strips create a pattern. The obtained pattern was analyzed using image processing (IP) tool of MATLAB software to determine and remove zinc. The proposed sensor was linear in the range 0.3- 6.0μg mL-1 (6μL of 50-1000μg mL-1 {R2=0.9974}). The minimum detection limit was found 15ng mL-1.The dye has also been investigated under scanning electron microscope.
