Determination of Folic Acid at a Bismuth Film Electrode by Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry

This article reports a new simple and sensitive method for the determination of folic acid by adsorptive stripping voltammetry. The method is based on the accumulation of folic acid at a bismuth film plated in situ on a glassy carbon substrate. In order to stabilize bismuth ions, sodium potassium tartrate was added to the supporting electrolyte. The bismuth film formation and folic acid accumulation conditions were optimized and measurements were carried without solution deaeration. The calibration graph was linear from 5 × 10^?10 to 2 × 10^?8 mole per liter with an accumulation time of 180 seconds with a limit of detection of 2 × 10^?10 mole per liter. The relative standard deviation for 5 × 10^?9 mole per liter of folic acid was 3.1 percent (n = 5). The method was successfully applied for determination of folic acid in pharmaceutical preparations.     

Bismuth Film Electrodes for Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Sunset Yellow FCF in Soft Drinks

The bismuth film electrode was used to record well‐developed voltammograms of azo food coloring Sunset Yellow FCF (SY). The employed Bi(III)/HClO₄ plating solutions produced very adhesive and mechanically stable films that were applied in both stationary and flow conditions. The influence of the dimensions of the glassy carbon support, plating solution concentration and potential was discussed. The sensitivity of SWV was sufficient to obtain a linear calibration curve for low concentration levels of SY (below 0.1 mg/L; LOD=1 µg/L, linear range 4.4–87 µg/L). The measurements in a flow system were considered as a tool for the determination of relatively high concentrations (>1 mg/L; LOD=300 µg/L, linear range 300–8800 µg/L) of SY.     

The Use of the Bismuth Film Electrode for the Anodic Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Tin

Bismuth coated glassy carbon electrodes have been applied to the square‐wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) of trace concentrations of tin. Optimization of Bismuth Film Electrode (BFE) performance was conducted after initial comparison with the more traditional mercury electrode. Simultaneous deposition of tin and bismuth at ?1.3 V for 2 minutes in a supporting electrolyte of 2.5 M sodium bromide utilizing a square‐wave stripping step, allowed analysis of tin at the μg L^?1 level. Parameters, such as deposition potential and time, bismuth concentration, square‐waveform settings including amplitude, step height and frequency were studied and optimized. The dependence of stripping current on deposition time indicates that using longer deposition time should facilitate sub μg L^?1 analysis. Tin was analyzed simultaneously with cadmium and either indium or thallium; Where as lead and copper were not resolved from the stripping peaks of tin and bismuth respectively. Finally, the method was applied to the analysis of tin in fruit juice.     

Adsorptive Cathodic Stripping Voltammetric Method for Determination of Gallium Using an In Situ Plated Lead Film Electrode

The in situ plated lead film electrode was proposed for the first time for adsorptive stripping voltammetric determination of gallium in water samples. The method was based on simultaneous lead film formation and Ga(III)‐cupferron complex preconcentration at ?0.7 V and its cathodic stripping during the potential scan. The composition of the supporting electrolyte, cupferron concentration, conditions of lead film formation, potential and time of accumulation were studied in detail. Under optimum conditions the limit of detection was 3.8×10^?9 mol L^?1. The proposed procedure was validated in the course of Ga(III) determination in waste water certified reference materials.

In this paper, an electrochemical application of bismuth‐film electrode (BiFE) fabricated via ex‐situ electrodeposition onto a glassy carbon electrode for testosterone determination was investigated in aqueous and aqueous/surfactant solutions. In cyclic voltammetry, the compound showed one irreversible and adsorption‐controlled reduction peak. The BiFE revealed good linear response in the examined concentration range of 1 to 45 nmol L^?1 testosterone in Britton? Robinson buffer, pH 5.0 containing 3 mmol L^?1 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The limit of detection was 0.3 nmol L^?1 (0.09 ng mL^?1). Finally, the BiFE was satisfactorily applied for quantitation of testosterone in both pharmaceutical (oil‐based ampoule) and biological (human urine) samples.     

Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Trace Uranium with a Bismuth‐Film Electrode Based on the U(VI)→U(V) Reduction Step of the Uranium‐Cupferron Complex

This work reports the use of adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) for the determination of uranium on a preplated rotating‐disk bismuth‐film electrode (BiFE). The principle of the method relied on the complexation of U(VI) ions with cupferron and the subsequent adsorptive accumulation of the complex on the surface of the BiFE. The uranium in the accumulated complex was then reduced by means of a cathodic voltammetric scan while the analytically useful U(VI)→U(V) reduction signal was monitored. 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 uranium was 0.1 μg L^?1 at a preconcentration time of 480 s and the relative standard deviation was 4.7% at the 5 μg L^?1 level for a preconcentration time of 120 s (n=8). The accuracy of the method was established by analyzing a reference sea water sample.

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.

Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Trace Level Ricin in Castor Seeds Using a Boron‐doped Diamond Electrode

Ricin, (Ricinus communis agglutinin, RCA) is one of the most poisonous of naturally occurring substances and has great potential for bioterrorism because no antidote exists. Fast detection at low concentrations is a challenge, and vital to the development of proper countermeasures. In this study, a square wave adsorptive stripping voltammetric (SWAdSV) method for determining RCA using a cathodically polarized boron‐doped diamond (BDD) electrode is presented. An irreversible electrochemical RCA oxidation peak was identified on the BDD electrode by different voltammetric techniques using both direct and adsorptive stripping modes. An adsorption‐controlled (slope log Ip vs log v of 0.80) pH‐dependent process was observed. For values of 1.0≤pH≤9.0, the numbers of protons and electrons associated with the oxidation reaction were estimated (ca. 1.0) by differential pulse voltammetry. The RCA oxidation step may correspond to the oxidation of tryptophan amino acid residues, and occurs in a complex mechanism. The excellent analytical performance of the cathodically polarized BDD electrode in combination with the stripping mode ramp was verified with RCA by using a short deposition time in an open circuit potential (120 s). Under optimized analysis conditions, a linear response in the range of (3.3–94.0)×10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹ (r²=0.9944) and a limit of detection of 6.2×10⁻¹⁰ mol L⁻¹ were estimated. This LOD is lower than several methods found in the literature. For example, it is 168 times lower than that obtained by using square wave voltammetric with a glassy carbon electrode. Moreover, an even lower LOD might be achieved by using the SWAdSV method with a higher pre‐concentration time. In addition, trace levels of RCA were successfully determined in different castor seed cultivars with an overall average recovery from 99.2±1.6 % for the three different RCA‐A concentration levels. The high accuracy of the analytical data highlights the use of the proposed method for determining RCA in other samples.     

Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Detection of Single‐Stranded DNA at Electrochemically Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

Electrochemically modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was used to study the electrochemical oxidation and detection of denatured single‐stranded (ss) DNA by means of adsorptive stripping voltammetry. The modification of GCE, by electrochemical oxidation at +1.75 V (vs.SCE) for 10 min and cyclic sweep between +0.3 V and ?1.3 V for 20 cycles in pH 5.0 phosphate buffer, results in 100‐fold improvement in sensitivity for ssDNA detection. We speculated that the modified GCE has a high affinity to single‐stranded DNA through hydrogen bond (specific static adsorption). Single‐stranded DNA can accumulate at the GCE surface at open circuit and produce a well‐defined oxidation peak corresponding to the guanine residues at about +0.80 V in pH 5.0 phosphate buffer, while the native DNA gives no signal under the same condition. The peak currents are proportional to the ssDNA concentration in the range of 0–18.0 μg mL^?1. The detection limit of denatured ssDNA is ca. 0.2 μg mL^?1 when the accumulation time is 8 min at open circuit. The accumulation mechanism of ssDNA on the modified GCE was discussed.

Enhanced Resolution of Copper and Bismuth by Addition of Gallium in Anodic Stripping Voltammetry with the Bismuth Film Electrode

This paper presents the enhanced analysis of copper on a bismuth electrode upon addition of gallium(III). The presence of gallium alleviates the problems of overlapping stripping signals usually observed between copper and bismuth when using the Bismuth Film Electrode. In addition, it has been found that the presence of gallium improves the reproducibility of the bismuth stripping signal. Simultaneous deposition of copper and bismuth at ?1500 mV for 2 minutes in a supporting electrolyte composed of 0.1 M pH 4.75 acetate buffer with 250 μg L^?1 gallium yields well resolved copper and bismuth signals when analyzed with square‐wave anodic stripping voltammetry. Simultaneous analysis of copper and lead yielded linear calibration plots in the range 10 to 100 μg L^?1 with regression coefficients of 0.997 and 0.994 respectively. The theoretical detection limit for copper was calculated to be 4.98 μg L^?1 utilizing a 2 minutes deposition time. The relative standard deviation for a copper concentration of 50 μg L^?1 was 1.6% (n=10).     

Ionophore Based Bismuth Film Electrode for Lead

Abstract

A Nafion/ionophore, 4-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-tetrakis(N,N-dimethylthioacetamide) composite coated and bismuth film modified glassy carbon electrode. (GC/NA-IONO/BiFE) was described to determine trace lead sensitively and selectively. The characteristics of such modified GC/NA-IONO/BiFE were studied by scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The influence of various experimental parameters upon the stripping lead signal at the GC/NA-IONO/BiFE was explored. Under the optimized conditions, the differential pulse voltammetric stripping response is highly linear over the 0.1–8.0 nM lead range examined (180 s preconcentration at ?1.2 V), with a detection limit of 0.044 nM and good precision (RSD = 5.4% at 0.5 nM). Also applicability to seawater samples was demonstrated at such modified electrode. The high selectivity of ionophore coupled with the excellent electrochemical characteristics of bismuth endow the GC/NA-IONO/BiFE a promising and robust tool for monitoring of trace lead rapidly and precisely.     

Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Determination of 2,4-Dichlorophenol by Laponite Modified Carbon Paste Electrode

A laponite modified carbon paste electrode was prepared, characterized and applied for the 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) voltammetric determination. It takes advantage of the ability of laponite to adsorb phenols, as well as of its availability and very low cost. Kinetic and equilibrium data for 2,4-DCP adsorption by laponite in aqueous dispersions demonstrated that the adsorption process obeyed a pseudo first order kinetic model and was consistent with the formation of adsorbed multilayers on a surface with heterogeneous pore distribution. The composite paste electrode exhibited a heterogeneous surface with 65 % increased surface area and 27 % enhanced catalytic activity compared to the unmodified one. The adsorptive stripping voltammetric determination of 2,4-DCP at an electrode with an optimized graphite:laponite ratio of 55 : 15 w% using a 3 min accumulation time at pH 5.5 was found to be suitable for its quantification in the linear concentration range extended up to 50 μmol L⁻¹ with a sensitivity of 0.56 μA L μmol⁻¹ and a LOD of 0.2 μmol L⁻¹ (S/N=3).The 2,4-DCP electrochemical response was not affected by the presence of some structurally similar phenols, like catechol and p-nitrophenol, while resorcinol, 2-chlorophenol, and 4-chlorophenol presented interferences. The results were validated by 2,4-DCP determination in spiked tap water.
