| Abstract: | A simple and highly selective and sensitive catalytic adsorptive stripping voltammetric procedure for determination of traces of Cr(VI) in the presence of a large excess of Cr(III) in environmental water samples is reported. To obtain a low detection limit the voltammetric procedure of chromium determination in the presence of DTPA and nitrate was exploited. For elimination of interference of Cr(III) ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid was used as a masking agent. At optimized conditions the calibration graph is linear from 2×10?10 to 2×10?8 mol L?1 for accumulation time of 30 s. The validation of the procedure was performed by comparison of the results of analysis of river water samples with those obtained using other accepted voltammetric procedure. |
