A montmorillonite from Wyoming-USA was used to prepare an organo-clay complex, named 2-thiazoline-2-thiol-hexadecyltrimethylammonium-clay (TZT-HDTA-clay), for the purpose of the selective adsorption of the heavy metals ions and possible use as a chemically modified carbon paste electrode (CMCPE). Adsorption isotherms of Hg2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ from aqueous solutions as a function of th...

Carbon paste electrodes have been modified with some lipidsfor the sensitive and selective detection of the antidepressant (Desipramine). Voltammetric experimental conditions were optimized taking into account the importance of quantifying desipramine in the complex media and in the pharmaceutical formulations. The sensor(Lauric acid modified carbon paste electrode) responds to desipramine givi...

A method of detecting lead was developed using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) with DNA-carbon nanotube paste electrode (CNTPE). The results indicated a sensitive oxidation peak current of lead on the DNA-CNTPE. The curves were obtained within a concentration range of 50 ngL(-1)-20 mgL(-1) with preconcentration time of 100, 200, and 400 sec at the concentration of mgL(-1), μgL(...

For the detection of trace copper to be used in medical diagnosis, a sensitive handmade carbon nanotube paste electrode (PE) was developed using voltammetry. Analytical optimized conditions were found at 0.05 V anodic peak current. In the same conditions, various common electrodes were compared using stripping voltammetry, and the PE was found to be more sharply sensitive than other common elec...

The aim of the present work was the development of a novel amperometric biosensor for rapid detection of sucrose in fruit juices samples. Two enzymes, invertase and fructose dehydrogenase (FDH), were immobilized onto a single-walled carbon nanotube paste (SWCNTP) electrode by wiring with a highly original osmium-polymer hydrogel. A second biosensor, for fructose only, was constructed containing...

Manganese is an essential micronutrient for all organisms; however at high concentrations it has a toxic effect. Manganese toxicity is a serious constraint to crop cultivation since it is taken-up by plants and can easily be passed into the food chain again causing symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. A fully validated square-wave adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry method has been developed ...

in this paper, the effect of surface area of reaction layers in gas diffusion electrodes on oxygen reduction reaction was investigated. for this purpose, various amounts (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and zero %wt of total loading of reaction layer) of single walled carbon nanotube (swcnt) were inserted in the reaction layer. the performance of gas diffusion electrodes for oxygen reduction re...

a carbon paste electrode modified with cobalt (ii) phthalocyanine (copc) was used as a sensitive potentiometric sensor for determination of ascorbic acid in aqueous solutions. the potential response of the electrode is a linear function of ascorbic acid concentration over the range 5 10 to 10 m (?1- 1800 µg ml ) with a nernstian slope of 56 mv at ph 7. the limit of detection was 0.2 µg ml ascor...

a sodium dodecyl sulfate modified carbon paste electrode (sds/cpe) was developed in this work based on the surface modification method. the modified electrode was prepared by immersing sds/cpe in a nickel nitrate solution. this electrode showed a strong accumulation ability toward nickel ions. then modified electrode was conditioned by potential recycling in a potential range of 0.2–0.8 v (vs. ...
