Carbon Paste Electrode Plated with Lead Film. Voltammetric Characteristics and Application in Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry

A lead film plated in situ at a carbon paste support was tested as a novel, potential electrode for adsorptive stripping voltammetric determination of cobalt traces in an ammonia buffer solution. To show the practical applicability of the new electrode, a catalytic adsorptive Co system in a supporting electrolyte containing 0.1 M ammonia buffer, 5×10^?4 M nioxime and 0.25 M nitrite was selected and investigated as a model solution. Pb and Co ions were simultaneously accumulated in situ on the electrode surface: Pb ions electrochemically at ?1.3 V) and then at ?0.75 V, at which potential the Co(II)‐nioximate complex was also pre‐concentrated via adsorption. Instrumental parameters, such as the time of nucleation and formation of Pb film deposits, the time of accumulation of the Co‐nioxime complex at the PbF/CPE, and the procedures of electrode regeneration, were optimized to obtain good reproducibility and sensitivity of the Co response. The optimized procedure yields favorable and highly stable stripping responses with good precision (RSD=3% for a 5×10^?8 M Co) and good linearity (up to 5×10^?7 M, coefficient of determination, R=0.996). The detection limit was 4×10^?10 M Co (0.023 μg L^?1) for an accumulation time of 120 s. The method enables the determination of Co in the presence of high excesses of Ni or Zn. The voltammetric data were correlated with the structural characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF).     

Chromium speciation study in polluted waters using catalytic adsorptive stripping voltammetry and tangential flow filtration

The catalytic adsorptive stripping voltammetry (CAdSV) has been applied to physico-chemical chromium speciation study in the upper Dunajec catchment, severely polluted by the tannery wastewater. The method is based on the adsorptive preconcentration of the Cr(III)-diethylenetriammine-N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentaacetic acid (DTPA) complex and the utilization of the catalytic reaction in the presence of nitrate. Under optimized conditions the CAdSV enables the oxidation state speciation study of Cr content by direct determination of Cr(VI) in the presence of the predominant Cr(III) concentration with the detection limit for chromium(VI) of 0.08 nM and the linearity range from 0.1 to 80 nM obtained for 20 s of accumulation, as well as the determination of total Cr after UV oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI). Due to the difference in the chemical properties of different chromium species the CAdSV method makes possible a speciation study of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) oxidation state. The RSD of the determination of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) varies from 0.5 to 5%. It has been proved that in natural water in which strong complexants of Cr(III) such a humid acids are presented, Cr(VI) can be determined accurately in the presence of high excess of Cr(III). Fractionation of selected water samples with tangential flow filtration (TFF, cut-off 10 and/or 1 kDa) provides insight into physical Cr speciation, i.e. partitioning of the Cr(VI) and Cr(III) between the colloidal and the dissolved fractions. It has been shown that the content of the Cr species in the Dunajec river depends on the season, and is significantly higher in autumn and winter during the most intensive tanneries production processes. The concentration of total Cr exceeds occasionally the legally admissible level. A large fraction of total Cr(III) concentration is associated with the colloidal material, while Cr(VI) occurs solely in the truly dissolved form.     

Ex‐situ Antimony Screen‐printed Carbon Electrode for Voltammetric Determination of Ni(II)‐ions in Wastewater

An Ex‐situ antimony film screen‐printed carbon electrode (Ex‐situ SbSPCE) was successfully applied for the determination of Ni(II), by means of adsorptive stripping voltammetry using dimethylglyoxime as complexing agent, in a certified reference wastewater sample. This electrode is proposed as an alternative to more conventional antimony film electrodes. Ex‐situ SbSPCE was analytically characterized and the obtained parameters suggest that Ex‐situ SbSPCE behaves much better than both Ex‐situ BiSPCE and Bi_spSPE for Ni(II) determination. The results confirm the applicability of Ex‐situ SbSPCE for the determination of low concentration levels of Ni(II) in natural samples with a very high reproducibility and good trueness.

Normal Pulse Voltammetric Determination of Subnanomolar Concentrations of Chromium(VI) with Continuous Wavelet Transformation

The renewable mercury film‐modified silver solid amalgam annular band electrode (MF‐AgSAE) applied for quantitative determination of sub‐nanomolar concentrations of Cr(VI) using differential pulse (DP) and normal pulse (NP) catalytic adsorptive striping voltammetry (CAdSV) is presented. In this context a signal processing algorithm is described and applied for the transformation of sigmoidal shaped NP curves to peak shaped curves. The method utilizes continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and a specially constructed mother wavelet defined using the ideal wave‐shaped curve. It simplifies the interpretation of sigmoidal curves. In the effect the new strategy of Cr(VI) determination is 10 times more sensitive than differential pulse and square‐wave techniques. The reproducibility is below 3–5 % (n=3) for the 0.2–2.2 nM concentration range of Cr(VI). The detection limit for 30 s preconcentration is equal to 0.05 nM with sensitivity of 0.809±0.012 µA nM^?1 and is limited by the purity of the used reagents. The correlation coefficient is equal to 0.9993. For 2 nM of Cr(VI), in the tested range, 0≤t_acc≤60 s, the relation wave height? accumulation time (I_w–t_acc) is linear. The operation and effectiveness of the proposed procedures was confirmed by the quantitative determination of Cr(VI) in supporting electrolyte and CRM (surface water samples and urine) with known amounts of the analyte. The obtained results show substantial improvement of the performance of NP CAdSV technique.

Trace Determination of Chromium by Square‐Wave Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry on Bismuth Film Electrodes

This works reports the use of adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) for the trace determination of chromium on a rotating‐disk bismuth‐film electrode (BFE). During the reductive accumulation step, all the chromium species in the sample were reduced to Cr(III) which was complexed with cupferron and the complex was accumulated by adsorption on the surface of a preplated BFE. The stripping step was carried out by using a square‐wave (SW) potential‐time voltammetric signal. Electrochemical cleaning of the bismuth film was employed, enabling the same bismuth film to be used for a series of measurements in the presence of dissolved oxygen. The experimental variables as well as potential interferences were investigated and the figures of merit of the method were established. Using the selected conditions, the 3σ limit of detection for chromium was 100 ng L^?1 (for 120 s of preconcentration) and the relative standard deviation was 3.6% at the 2 μg L^?1 level (n=8). Finally, the method was applied to the determination of chromium in real samples with satisfactory results.     

Sensitive Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Methodologies for the Determination of Melatonin in Biological Fluids

The reversible redox process that melatonin presented on carbon paste electrodes was the basis of a sensitive methodology for the determination of this hormone. From all the processes presented by this hormone, this was never used before as the basis of voltammetric measurements for melatonin determination. Therefore, parameters that affected the cyclic voltammetric signal were studied. A limit of detection as low as 9×10^?11 M was obtained when optimized alternating current voltammetry was employed. The reproducibility was excellent due to an adequate pretreatment of the solid electrode (RSD=2.7%, n=10). A comparison with methodologies that employ different electrochemical techniques from the point of view of their analytical characteristics was made. This methodology has proved to be suitable for the determination of melatonin in biological fluids.     

Catalytic Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Cobalt and Nickel as Their α‐Furil Dioxime Complexes

The exploitation of the catalytic‐adsorptive effect in the Co(II)‐dioxime‐nitrite systems provides a significant increase of the Co adsorptive stripping voltammetric response and subsequently the influence of the interfering elements such as Ni and Zn is strongly diminished. The purpose of the present paper was to study voltammetric properties of Co and Ni in a supporting electrolyte containing ammonia buffer, α‐furil dioxime in the absence and in the presence of nitrite, by differential pulse polarography and adsorptive stripping voltammetry. Results of detailed studies aimed at optimizing the analytical parameters for simultaneous catalytic adsorptive stripping voltammetric determination of Co and Ni in the form of complexes with α‐furil dioxime in the presence of Zn matrix are presented. In the supporting electrolyte of composition 0.1 M NH₄Cl, 0.5 M NH₃, 4×10^?5 M αFD, 0.5 M NaNO₂ the linearity range amounts from 0.03 to 2.4 μg/L for Co and from 0.3 to 9 μg/L for Ni for 20 s of accumulation. The method enables the determination of Co and Ni in the presence of a great excess of Zn with the detection limit equal to 0.02 μg/L Co and 0.2 μg/L Ni obtained for a 20 s accumulation time.

Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Nanomolar Concentration of Cerium(III) at a Carbon Paste Electrode Modified by N′‐[(2‐Hydroxyphenyl)Methylidene]‐2‐Furohydrazide

The aim of this work was to obtain an adsorptive stripping voltammetric method for the Ce(III) determination at a carbon paste electrode, chemically modified with N'‐[(2‐hydroxyphenyl)methylidene]‐2‐furohydrazide (NHMF). The electroanalytical procedure comprised two steps: the Ce(III) chemical accumulation at ?200 mV followed by the electrochemical detection of the Ce(III)/NHMF complex, using anodic stripping voltammetry. The factors, influencing the adsorptive stripping performance, were optimized including the modifier quantity in the paste, the electrolyte concentrations, the solution pH and the accumulation potential or time. The resulting electrode demonstrated a linear response over a wide range of Ce(III) concentration (5.0–90 nmol dm^?3). The detection limit was found to be 0.8 nmol dm^?3 on the basis of a signal to noise ratio of 3. The precision for six determinations of 10 and 55 nmol dm^?3 Ce(III) was 5.6% and 2.1% (relative standard deviation), respectively. Application of the procedure to the determination of cerium in phosphate rock and wastewater samples gave good results.

Catalytic adsorptive stripping voltammetric determination of copper(II) on a carbon paste electrode

A catalytic adsorptive stripping voltammetric method for the determination of copper(II) on a carbon paste electrode (PCE) in an alizarin red S (ARS)-K₂S₂O₈ system is proposed. In this method, copper(II) is effectively enriched by both the formation and adsorption of a copper(II)-ARS complex on the PCE, and is determined by catalytic stripping voltammetry. The catalytic enhancement of the cathodic stripping current of the Cu(II) in the complex results from a redox cycle consisting of electrochemical reduction of Cu(II) ion in the complex and subsequent chemical oxidation of the Cu(II) reduction product by persulfate, which reduces the contamination of the working electrode from Cu deposition and also improves analytical sensitivity. In Britton-Robinson buffer (pH 4.56±0.1) containing 3.6×10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹ ARS and 1.6×10⁻³ mol L⁻¹ K₂S₂O₈, with 180 s of accumulation at −0.2 V, the second-order derivative peak current of the catalytic stripping wave was proportional to the copper(II) concentration in the range of 8.0×10⁻¹⁰ to ∼3.0×10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹. The detection limit was 1.6×10⁻¹⁰ mol L⁻¹. The proposed method was evaluated by analyzing copper in water and soil.

The detection limits for the CPE_α‐CD and for the CPE_β‐CD were 0.05 and 0.09 μM, respectively, while for the CPE it was 0.41 μM. The CPE_β‐CD exhibited greater sensitivity as compared to that of the CPE_α‐CD.     

Square Wave Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Cyromazine Insecticide with Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Paste Electrode

The electrochemical behavior of cyromazine (N-cyclopropyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6 triamine) insecticide has been studied at newly prepared multi-wall carbon nanotubes paste electrodes using square wave stripping voltammetry. The cyromazine was accumulated at 0.0 mV [vs. Ag/AgCl (3 M NaCl)] and a well-defined anodic peak obtained at +1110 mV in 0.1 M H₂SO₄. The cyclic voltammetric measurements showed an irreversible nature of oxidation wave in the range of scan rates comprised between 500 and 4000 mV s^?1. The calibration curve obtained from square wave stripping voltammetry was linear in the range 0.41 to 83.30 µg/mL with a detection limit of 0.12 µg/mL. The method was applied to the direct determination of cyromazine in natural water samples. Recoveries calculated for river and tap water samples spiked with 10.0 µg/mL level were 101.5 ± 1.9% and 100.6 ± 2.3% at 95% confidence level, respectively. The method was extended to the determination of cyromazine in agrochemical formulation Trigard® with a recovery of 100.49% and accuracy was in agreement with that obtained by HPLC comparison method. Influences of some interfering ions and pesticides were also investigated.
