Voltammetric Determination of Herbicide Aclonifen Using Mercury Electrodes
Murcková, Klára ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Dejmková, Hana (referee)
Presented Diploma Thesis is focused on electroanalytical determination of the herbicide Aclonifen, which belongs to a group of herbicides derived from diphenylether. These herbicides are used due to their effects - inhibition of protoporfyrinogen oxidase synthesis and also inhibition of biosynthesis of carotenoids. Due to its widespread use in agricultural, toxical effects on humans and because of its negative impacts particularly on aquatic ecosystems there is a need for methods capable of determining the presence of Aclonifen in the environment to monitor its ecological impacts. Optimal conditions for the determination of Aclonifen have been investigated in BR buffer - methanolic solution and in BR buffer. Electrochemical behavior of the substance has been studied using direct current voltammetry (DCV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPP) and adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) on the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) and by using TAST polarography and differential pulse polarography (DPP) on the dropping mercury electrode (DME). UV/VIS spectrophotometric detection was used for comparison to electrochemical detection. Used wavelengths were 308 nm and 388 nm. For electrochemical determination of Aclonifen the above mentioned techniques were used and following results were obtained: DCV...
