Abstract: | Formalin, formaldehyde in the presence of methanol, was determined by pulsed amperometric detection (PAD). A triple waveform using Edet=−0.3 V (tdet=30 ms), Eoxd=+0.8 V (toxd=200 ms), and Ered=−0.8 V (tred=350 ms) versus Ag/AgCl was applied at a Au electrode for detection in a flow injection (FI) system. The approach was rapid and yielded a sub-millimolar detection limit (0.0129 mM) with a dynamic range up to 100 mM. A precision of 8.8% R.S.D. at 1.0 mM for two hundred repetitive injections by the FI-PAD was obtained, whereas holding at a constant potential (−0.3 V versus Ag/AgCl) for anodic oxidation of formaldehyde caused the response to decrease dramatically after a few measurements. The method developed was used to analyze the formalin contents of water from rinsed samples of vegetables and fruit and ice-melt from seafood, and the method showed good agreement with the liquid chromatography (LC) method. |
