The Use of Chemically Modified Electrodes in Voltammetric Analysis of Nitroaromatic Compounds
Prchal, Vít ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Navrátil, Tomáš (referee)
The main objective of this Diploma Thesis is studying the possibility of detection of nitro derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons by using chemically modified working electrodes in electrochemical analysis. Compounds analyzed in this work were 1-nitronaphthalene and 6- nitrochrysene - these compounds were chosen on previous experience with surface modified working electrodes (the chemical/physical properties of these substances). All the analyses were performed by using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) on hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) in classic three-electrode system. The original premise of chemical modification of electrode surface is the change of its selectivity towards different compounds - meaning the change of the electrochemical response. The modification agent used in this thesis is 1-octanethiol. Its thiol group offers great potential of strong interaction with the metal surface of the mercury electrode. Voltammetric responses of both compounds were recorded in acidic, neutral and basic solutions (pH=2, pH=7, pH=12) including the responses when the electrode surface was modified. Next objective was the optimization of the modification procedure itself (transferring of the mercury drop from one media to another without damaging or tearing it off from the capillary orifice)....
