Voltammetric Determination of Heavy Metals in Honeybee Venom using Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode and Carbon Conductive Filaments for 3D Printer
Navrátil, Tomáš ; Choińska-Mlynarczyk, Marta ; Šestáková, Ivana ; Hrdlička, Vojtěch
Heavy metals belong to typical contaminants of our environment. It is known that they are\nmetabolized and incorporated into bee products as honey as well as honeybee venom (apitoxin).\nIt is supposed that their composition can reflect contamination of the “bee environment” and\ncan give us information about the environment in the neighborhood of human dwellings.\nThis study aimed to develop a simple method for the determination of heavy metals in honeybee\nvenom. Due to the complicated matrix, wet microwave mineralization with sulfuric acid, nitric\nacid, under increased temperature and pressure, and repeated boiling with concentrated nitric\nacid had to be applied. Voltammetry proved to be very suitable for the determination of heavy\nmetals.\nTwo types of working electrodes have been used: pen-type hanging mercury drop electrode and\ncarbon conductive filaments for 3D printers. Results achieved using both of them and their\nadvantages and limitations have been compared.
Anodic Stripping Voltammetry on Silver Composite Electrodes
Kopanica, M. ; Šebková, Světlana ; Navrátil, Tomáš
The influences of presence of various cations (Cd, Cu, Bi, Tl) and anions (chlorides) on the anodic stripping voltammetric determination of lead on silver composite electrodes were studied. It was found that the effect of underpotential deposition at these electrodes differs from that one produced by metallic silver electrode. Their use enables the direct determination in water samples without elimination of the presence of surface-active substances or of dissolved oxygen (LOD about 3 ug L-1).
