Heavy metals are metals that have a mass of more than 5 g / cm3 in the lower right corner of the periodic system. Heavy metals rarely form atoms themselves in water, but are usually bound by other compounds to form molecules. Heavy metal is a chemical compound that has the potential to cause environmental pollution problems. Methods of heavy metal content analysis in the aquatic environment developed simultaneously are still being developed. The simultaneous analysis provides an advantage in terms of time and cost efficiency. In this study is being developed heavy metal analysis based on the formation of complexes with oxin compounds. It is known that the oxide can form a yellow complex with several metal ions. The use of oxine as a complex is selected based on the color and pH of the complexes formed. By performing optimization and analysis of the complex system formed it is expected to produce an excellent method for the analysis of several heavy metals simultaneously using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
