The anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) was investigated to determine total mercury in solid samples using a gold electrode. deposited on the electrode preconcentration step. oxidation peak of irreversible. optimal conditions procedure were found be as follows: 0.05 mol L?1 HCl solution, deposition potential ?0.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl/KCls, time 40 s, and sweep rate 0.04 s?1. Under conditions, current s...

A method for the determination of carbendazim (MBC) by anodic stripping voltammetry using a carbon fiber ultramicroelectrode was developed. The ultramicroelectrode was made in our laboratory and its electrochemical behavior was characterized by measuring the electrochemical response with a solution of potassium ferricyanide. The optimum parameters used for the determination of MBC are the follo...

Volume 1 • Issue 3 • 2012 A wide range of techniques is available whereby various extraction reagents and experimental conditions are used. These techniques involve a 5step [8], 4step (BCR, Bureau Commune de Reference of the European Commission) and 6-step [13] extraction, and are thus becoming popular and adopted methods used for sequential extraction [14,15]. Several analytical methods have b...

A three-sensor array consisting of a graphite-epoxy composite electrode (GEC), 4-carboxybenzo-18-crown-6-GEC and 4carboxybenzo-15-crown-5-GEC was employed for the simultaneous determination of Cd(II), Pb(II) and Hg(II) by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). Sensors were firstly studied for the determination of Hg(II); secondly, peak current responses confirmed that all sens...

A mercury-sensitive chemically modified graphite paste electrode was constructed by incorporating modified silica gel into a conventional graphite paste electrode. The functional group attached to the (3-chloropropyl) silica gel surface was 2-mercaptoimidazole, giving a new product denoted by 3-(2-thioimidazolyl)propyl silica gel, which is able to complex mercury ions. Mercury was chemically ad...
