Polarographic Determination of Genotoxic 2-Amino-9-fluorenone
Hájková, Andrea ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Dejmková, Hana (referee)
of Bachaleor Thesis The aim to this work was to find the optimum conditions for polarographic determination of genotoxic 2-amino-9-fluorenone (2-AFN) that can negatively affect the living and working environment. Foremost, the stability of 2-AFN stock solution in methanol was monitored using UV-VIS spectrophotometry and an optimal ratio of buffered aqueous and methanolic phase was found out for following polarographic measurements at a classical mercury dropping electrode (DME). The dependence of polarographic behavior of 2-AFN (of concentration 1×10-4 mol dm-3 ) on pH of analyzed solution was measured using DC tast polarography (DCTP) and differential pulse polarography (DPP) in the pH range 1.9 - 12.8, in the medium of Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer - methanol (9:1). The mechanism of polarographic reduction of electrochemically reducible oxo group at 2-AFN has been proposed on the basis of thus observed behavior. The optimum medium of BR buffer pH 4.0 - methanol (9:1) has been chosen for both polarographic techniques. The concentration range from 1×10-6 to 1×10-4 mol dm-3 was measured using DCTP at DME and from 1×10-7 to 1×10-4 mol dm-3 using DPP at DME. Reached limits of quantification (LQs) were 5×10-7 mol dm-3 and 1×10-7 mol dm-3 for DCTP at DME and DPP at DME, respectively. For comparison, the...

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...

Polarographic Determination of the Herbicide Aclonifen
Murcková, Klára ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Dejmková, Hana (referee)
This thesis deals with the differential pulse polarographic determination of the herbicide aclonifen and with the TAST polarographic determination of the herbicide aclonifen. A dropping mercury electrode was used as the working electrode. UV/VIS spectrophotometric detection was used for comparison to electrochemical detection, the walenghts used were 308 nm and 388 nm. Optimal pH conditions were determined for determination using TP, DPP and UV/VIS spectrophotometry. The calibration dependences were measured using the found optimal conditions and limits of quantification, and limits of detection were determined. Limit of quantification for aclonifen were found to be 3,4·10-6 mol·L-1 using TP; 2,2·10-7 mol·L-1 using DPP and 4,6·10-6 mol·L-1 using UV/VIS spectrophotometry.

Development of the scope of polarography with time (review)
Heyrovský, Michael
The classical definition of polarography was "electrolysis with dropping mercury electrode (DME)". This definition characterized originally d.c. voltage-controlled method containing theoretical equations of different currents obtained with DME as well as its practical applications in analysis and in general science. Gradually, next to dropping electrode other types of mercury electrodes were used, as streaming and hanging drop. Development of the instrumental side of polarography introduced also methods of current-controlled electrolysis and beside pure mercury also amalgam electrodes. Nowadays polarography can be best characterized as physico-chemical branch of science ceveloped from simplke electrolysis with dropping mercury electrode.
