Adsorption voltammetry of the scandium-alizarin red S complex onto a carbon paste electrode

For the first time, a new method is described for the determination of scandium based on the cathodic adsorptive stripping of the scandium-alizarin red S complex onto a carbon paste electrode. The second-order derivative linear scan voltammograms of the complex are recorded by use of model JP-303 polarographic analyzer from 0.0 to -1.0 V (versus SCE). Optimum conditions are found to be: an acetic acid (0.36 mol l(-1))-potassium biphthalate (0.064 mol l(-1)) buffer solution (pH 4.0) containing 2.0x10(-5) mol l(-1) alizarin red S, a preconcentration potential of 0.0 V, a preconcentration time of 60 s, a rest time of 10 s and a scan rate of 100 mV s(-1). The results show that the complex can be adsorbed on the surface of a carbon paste electrode, yielding one peak at -0.58 V, corresponding to the reduction of alizarin red S in the complex at the electrode. The detection limit is found to be 6.0x10(-10) mol l(-1) for 3 min of preconcentration time. The linear range is 1.0x10(-9) to 4.0x10(-7) mol l(-1). Application of the procedure to the determination of scandium in the ore samples gave good results.

An electroregenerable carbon paste electrode modified with triiodide ions immobilized in an anion-exchange resin (Lewatit M500) is proposed for the determination of adrenaline in pharmaceutical products by differential-pulse voltammetry (DPV). Adrenaline was chemically converted into adrenochrome by the I3- ions at the electrode surface. The electrochemical reduction back to adrenaline was obtained at a potential of -0.16 V vs. Ag/AgCl (3 mol l(-1) KCl). A 20% decrease of the initial analytical signal was observed after 350-400 determinations; the carbon paste electrode was 100% electroregenerated at a fixed potential of +0.65 V vs. Ag/AgCl (3 mol l(-1) KCl) in 0.1 mol l(-1) KI solution for 20 min. The differential-pulse voltammograms were obtained by applying a sweep potential between 0.0 and -0.34 V, following the adrenochrome reduction at -0.16 V. Under the optimum conditions established, such as pH 6.0; scan rate 20 mV s(-1) and pulse amplitude 50 mV, the calibration curve was linear from 2.0 x 10(-5) to 3.1 x 10(-4) mol l(-1) adrenaline with a detection limit of 3.9 x 10(-6) mol l(-1).

Evaluation of a carbon paste electrode modified with organofunctionalised SBA-15 nanostructured silica in the simultaneous determination of divalent lead, copper and mercury ions

The performance of a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with SBA-15 nanostructured silica organofunctionalised with 2-benzothiazolethiol in the simultaneous determination of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) ions in natural water and sugar cane spirit (cacha?a) is described. Pb(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) were pre-concentrated on the surface of the modified electrode by complexing with 2-benzothiazolethiol and reduced at a negative potential (-0.80 V). Then the reduced products were oxidised by DPASV procedure. The fact that three stripping peaks appeared on the voltammograms at the potentials of -0.48 V (Pb2+), -0.03 V (Cu2+) and +0.36 V (Hg2+) in relation to the SCE, demonstrates the possibility of simultaneous determination of Pb2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+. The best results were obtained under the following optimised conditions: 100 mV pulse amplitude, 3 min accumulation time, 25 mV s(-1) scan rate in phosphate solution pH 3.0. Using such parameters, calibration graphs were linear in the concentration ranges of 3.00-70.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) (Pb2+), 8.00-100.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) (Cu2+) and 2.00-10.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) (Hg2+). Detection limits of 4.0 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) (Pb2+), 2.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) (Cu2+) and 4.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) (Hg2+) were obtained at the signal noise ratio (SNR) of 3. The results indicate that this electrode is sensitive and effective for simultaneous determination of Pb2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+ in the analysed samples.

An electroanalytical method for the determination of the herbicide desmetryne at nanomolar levels in dispersed media, based on adsorptive stripping voltammetry, is reported. The adsorption of desmetryne at the hanging mercury drop electrode was checked both in micellar solutions, where the anionic surfactant sodium pentanesulphonate was chosen as the most suitable surfactant agent, and in oil-in-water emulsions prepared with ethyl acetate as the organic solvent. In a micellar medium formed with 0.02% sodium pentanesulphonate and with 0.1 mol l(-1) Britton-Robinson buffer (pH 1.5), the herbicide could be determined over the 1.0 x 10(-8)-4.0 x 10(-7) mol l(-1) concentration range, when an accumulation potential of -0.70 V was applied for 50 s. On the other hand, in an oil-in-water emulsion formed with 2% ethyl acetate and 0.04% sodium pentanesulphonate as emulsifying agent in 0.1 mol l(-1) HClO(4), desmetryne could be determined over the 2.0 x 10(-9)-1.0 x 10(-7) mol l(-1) concentration range. The limits of detection were 2.4 x 10(-9) and 4.2 x 10(-10) mol l(-1) in micellar and emulsified media, respectively, with R.S.D.s (n=10) 3.6 and 3.7%. The degree of interference from some other s-triazines on the desmetryne differential pulse response was also evaluated. Finally, the method developed in emulsified medium was applied to the determination of desmetryne in spiked apple juice.

Voltammetric determination of ethinylestradiol at a carbon paste electrode in the presence of cetyl pyridine bromine

Electrochemical behaviors of ethinylestradiol at a carbon paste electrode (CPE) in the presence of cetyl pyridine bromide (CPB) are investigated by electrochemical techniques. Compared with that at a CPE without CPB, the oxidation peak potential of ethinylestradiol shifts negatively and the peak current is increased significantly, due to the enhanced accumulation of ethinylestradiol via electrostatic interaction with CPB at the hydrophobic electrode surface. It is verified by the influences of different kinds of surfactants on the electrochemical signals of ethinylestradiol. Some parameters such as pH, scan rate, accumulation potential and accumulation time on the oxidation of ethinylestradiol are optimized. Under optimal conditions, the oxidation peak current is proportional to ethinylestradiol concentration in the range of 5.0 x 10(-8) to 2.0 x 10(-5) mol L(-1) with a detection limit of 3.0 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) for 150 s accumulation by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The proposed procedure is successfully applied to determine ethinylestradiol in pharmaceutical formulation (Levonorgestrel and Etinylestradiol tablets) and the results are satisfying compared with that of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).     

Polarographic determination of total iron content using a Fe(2+/3+)-Methylthymol Blue-NO2- system.

In the buffer solution of NH3-NH4Cl (pH = 8.5, 0.04 mol l(-1)), iron-Methylthymol Blue (MTB) can produce a sensitive polarographic wave at -1.10 V (vs. SCE) in the NaNO2. The peak current is linear with the concentration of the iron in the range of 3 x 10(-8)-5 x 10(-6) mol l(-1), and the detection limit is 1 x 10(-8) mol l(-1). By studying the characteristics of the wave and the electrode reaction mechanism, we can prove that the catalytic wave is an adsorption wave and that the peak current comes from the reduction of Fe(II). The molar ratio of iron to ligand was found to be 1:1. Adsorption particles are neutral molecules, the saturated adsorption quantity of the complex on the mercury electrode is 1.92 x 10(-9) mol cm(-2), according with the Frumkin isothermal formula. In the experiments, the adsorption coefficient (beta) is 4.05 x 10(5); the adsorption factor (gamma) is 0.70: the electron transfer number (n) is 2; the free energy (deltaG(o)) is 31.99 kJ mol(-1); the transfer coefficient of the irreversible adsorption is 0.42-0.45; and the reaction velocity constant (Ks) is 1.35 s(-1).

beta-Cyclodextrin-ferrocene inclusion complex modified carbon paste electrode for amperometric determination of ascorbic acid

Inclusion complex of ferrocene (Fc) with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) has been synthesized in ethylene glycol. It was unsolvable in water and had been successfully used to the preparation of beta-CD-Fc inclusion complex modified carbon paste electrode (CFCPE). Solid paraffin was used as the binder of the electrode. Ascorbic acid (AA) was electrocatalytically oxidized at the electrode in NH(3)-NH(4)Cl buffer (pH 10.0) with a anodic peak potential of +0.20 V (vs. SCE). The anodic current was proportional to the concentration of AA in the range 1.0x10(-3)-5.0x10(-7) mol l(-1) with the detection limit of 1.0x10(-7) mol l(-1). Using the inclusion complex as the electroactive substance greatly increased the stability and reproducibility of CFCPE than using Fc; the lifetime of the electrode can be over 1 year. Because CFCPE responds rapidly and sensitively, it has been successfully applied to the determination of AA in fruit juices.
