Mercury Determination in Fish Samples by Chronopotentiometric Stripping Analysis Using Gold Electrodes Prepared from Recordable CDs

چکیده
A simple method for manufacturing gold working electrodes for chronopotentiometric stripping measurements from recordable CD-R's is described. These gold electrodes are much cheaper than commercially available ones. The electrochemical behavior of such an electrode and the working parameters for mercury determination by chronopotentiometric stripping analysis were studied. Detection limit was 0.30 μg Hg/L and determination limit was 1.0 μg Hg/L for a deposition time of 600 s. Using the developed working electrodes it was possible to determine the total mercury in fish samples. A method for fish sample digestion was developed by using a mixture of fuming nitric acid and both concentrated sulfuric and hydrochloric acids. The recovery degree for a known amount of mercury introduced in the sample before digestion was 95.3% (n=4).

Construction of a Carbon Paste Electrode Based on Novel Thiolated Ligand Capped Gold Nanoparticles for Determination of Trace Amounts of Mercury(II)
In the present study, a simple electrochemical sensor for trace determination of Hg(II) ions in aqueous solutions was introduced. The proposed sensor was designed by incorporation of the 4-methyl-piperidine-carbodithioate capped gold nanoparticles (GNPs) into the carbon paste electrode (CPE), which provides a remarkably improved sensitivity for stripping voltammetric determination of Hg(II). Di...

The advent of stripping voltammetry has improved the performance of analytical voltammetry to a considerable extent.1 The enhanced sensitivity and lower detection limits can be achieved in this technique by enrichment of the analyte prior to voltammetric determination. The common enrichment processes include reduction of metal ions through formation of metal films or amalgams, reductive or oxid...

Composites of bismuth and gold nanoparticles (Bi–AuNPs) were prepared on a carbon paste electrode (CPE) by an electrochemical deposition method. The electrochemical parameters were optimized for the effective deposition of Bi–AuNP composite materials. Microscopic examination revealed that nanoparticle clusters of gold were embedded well within the bismuth films (Bi films) over the surface of th...

In this work, we report on the development of a palladium-based, microfabricated point-of-care electrochemical sensor for the determination of manganese using square wave cathodic stripping voltammetry. Heavy metals require careful monitoring, yet current methods are too complex for a point-of-care system. Voltammetry offers an attractive approach to metal detection on the microscale, but tradi...
