Abstract:

In the presented study, CuO-CoO-MnO/SiO2 nanocomposite was synthesis by Cu(II), Co(II), Mn(II), with 1:1:1 mole ratio and Tetraethyl orthosilicate. azo–azomethine 1-(3-imino-4-hydroxophenylazo-4-nitrobenzene)-4-methyl phenol (L) was synthesized and used as a ligand for capturing the metal ions. Also, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide was applied as the ionic liquid in order to increase the conductivity of the electrode. The nanomaterials were investigated using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM); SEM image shows a homogeneous CuO-CoO-MnO/SiO2 nanocomposite, with an average particle size distribution of 40 nm. Also, the electrochemical characterization of L/CuO-CoO-MnO/SiO2/IL/CPE was checked by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. The modification of carbon paste electrode applied to determination of some heavy metal ions include Hg(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV), for the first time. The linear range for determination of analytes in optimized condition was obtained as Hg: 0.0007-0.21 and 0.21-27 μM, Cd: 0.0007-0.21 and 0.21-27 μM, Pb: 0.0009-0.23 and 0.23-27 μM, Zn: 0.001-0.25 and 0.25-27 μM. Also, the detection limits for Hg(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) were calculated to be 3.019×10-4, 3.445×10-4, 2.407×10-4 and 5.134×10-4 μM, respectively. Finally, the sensor was successfully used for the measurement of the analytes in Tap water and River water samples with recoveries ranging between 98.1% and 102.7%. Also, the obtained results accorded very well with those obtained by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) that corroborated the accuracy and validity of the proposed method.

Anodic Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Nitrite Using Carbon Paste Electrode Modified with Chitosan

A simple method for anodic stripping voltammetric determination of nitrite using carbon paste electrode modified with biomolecular chitosan, is described. In this method, the electrode is activated electrochemically by scanning 5 replicates over the potential range from +500 to +1400 mV immersing in 0.5 M HCl solution. Following this step, the nitrite sample containing 0.1 M KCl is pre-concentr...

Simultaneous determination of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in Infant formula by anodic stripping voltammetry

Determination of trace elements in food is of great importance, as some of them have nutritional significance, whilst others are toxic. Long-term exposure to low levels of toxic metals could be important, especially in relation to children. Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DPASV) is applied to simultaneous determination of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in dry ash infant formula...

Simultaneous Determination of Thiocyanate and Oxalate in Urine using a Carbon Ionic Liquid Electrode Modified with TiO2-Fe Nanoparticles

A carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) modified with TiO2-Fe nanoparticles was constructed by incorporating TiO2-Fe nanoparticles into the paste matrix. Under the optimized experimental conditions, using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), the oxidation of thiocyanate and oxalate were occurred at potentials of 0.740 V and 1.010 V, respectively, at the surface of the modi...
