Testing of Polished Silver Solid Amalgam Composite Electrode for Voltammetric Determination of Environmental Pollutants
Dědík, Jan ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Nesměrák, Karel (referee)
The aim of this study was the finding of applicable conditions for the determination of selected model environmental pollutants, namely 5-nitrobenzimidazole and picric acid, using DC voltammetry (DCV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at a polished silver solid amalgam composite electrode (p-AgSAE-CE) in the aqueous solution of Britton-Robinson (BR) and finding of the limit of quantification (LQ) for these substances. For 5-nitrobenzimidazole, the optimum conditions of voltammetric determination have been found in the medium of B-R buffer pH 5, but any calibration dependences were obtained. The reason was the deteriorating quality of 5-nitrobenzimidazole response even if the routine pretreatment of working electrode was maintained. This resulted in obtaining of irreproducible results upon the determination of 5-nitrobenzimidazole. For picric acid, the optimum conditions have been found for both DPV and DCV at p-AgSAE-CE in the medium of B-R buffer pH 2. The concentration dependences were measured in the range 1.10-6 - 1.10-4 mol.L-1 for DPV with the value of reached LQ 2,5.10-7 mol.L-1 and, for DCV, in the range 1.10-7 - 1.10-4 mol.L-1 with LQ calculated as 5,5.10-8 mol.L-1 . For comparison of newly developed voltammetric methods of picric acid determination, a UV-VIS spectrophotometric...
