Manganese Detection with a Metal Catalyst Free Carbon Nanotube Electrode: Anodic versus Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry

Heavy Metal Analysis by Anodic Stripping Voltammetry

Let’s say that you wanted to determine the heavy metal identities and concentrations in sediment and suspended solid samples obtained from present day Lake Nakuru. What technique would you use for this determination? You could use Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) as was done in the article (Nelson 1998), but another technique, which is particularly good at detecting metals at the ppb level ...

Copper-Based Electrochemical Sensor with Palladium Electrode for Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry of Manganese

In this work, we report on the development of a palladium-based, microfabricated point-of-care electrochemical sensor for the determination of manganese using square wave cathodic stripping voltammetry. Heavy metals require careful monitoring, yet current methods are too complex for a point-of-care system. Voltammetry offers an attractive approach to metal detection on the microscale, but tradi...

Determination of mercury at a dithizone-modified glassy carbon electrode by anodic stripping voltammetry.

Ultra-Sensitive Anodic Stripping Voltammetry for the Determination of Xanthine at a Glassy Carbon Electrode

An electrochemical anodic stripping procedure for ultra-trace assay of xanthine in Cu2þ solution at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) is described. Cyclic voltammetry was used to characterize the nature of the process taking place at the GCE. The anodic stripping response in the presence of Cu2þ, at 150 mV (peak I) and 600 mV (peak II), is evaluated with respect to various experimental and instru...

Mercury-free anodic stripping voltammetry of lead ions using a PVS-doped polyaniline modified glassy carbon electrode

The advent of stripping voltammetry has improved the performance of analytical voltammetry to a considerable extent.1 The enhanced sensitivity and lower detection limits can be achieved in this technique by enrichment of the analyte prior to voltammetric determination. The common enrichment processes include reduction of metal ions through formation of metal films or amalgams, reductive or oxid...
