Abstract:
A potentiometric ion-selective electrode based on new compound, as a carrier, has been successfully developed for detection of perchlorate anion in aqueous solution. Within the perchlorate ion concentration range 1.0×10–6 to 1.0 mol L–1 the electrode had a linear response with a Nernstian slope of 60.6±1.0 mV per decade . The limit of detection as determined from the intersection of the extrapolated linear segments of the calibration plot was 8.0×10–7 mol L–1. The proposed electrode has fairly a good discriminating ability towards ClO4– ion in comparison to other anions. The sensor has a response time of 10 s and can be used for at least 2 months without substantial divergence in potential. It was successfully applied to direct determination of perchlorate in urine and water.
