A selective and sensitive method for simultaneous determination of lead and zinc by adsorptive differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry is presented. The method is based on adsorptive accumulation of the complexes of Pb (II) and Zn(II) ions with Dopamine onto hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE), followed by reduction of adsorbed species by differential pulse cathodic stripping voltam...

Square-wave cathodic adsorptive stripping voltammetry based on adsorptive accumulation is a very sensitive technique for the trace determination of xanthosine 50-monophosphate (50-XMP) and xanthosine 50-diphosphate (50-XDP). The determination is based on the strong interaction of the adsorption of xanthosine phosphate compounds on a mercury electrode surface, forming Hg(II)-xanthate. The cathod...

Copper and arsenic have been analysed in refined beet sugar at the microgram kg-1 level by anodic stripping voltammetry (copper) and cathodic stripping voltammetry (arsenic) in the differential-pulse mode (DPASV and DPCSV) at a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). DPCSV measurements of arsenic are based on its accumulation onto the HMDE as an intermetallic Cu-As compound followed by the reduc...

Manganese is an essential micronutrient for all organisms; however at high concentrations it has a toxic effect. Manganese toxicity is a serious constraint to crop cultivation since it is taken-up by plants and can easily be passed into the food chain again causing symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. A fully validated square-wave adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry method has been developed ...

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...

Nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon (N-DLC) thin films were prepared on n-Si substrates using a filtered cathodic vacuum arc deposition method. Square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) was used to trace Pb and Cu in a neutral KCl solution with pH 7. Stripping voltammograms of Pb and Cu were analyzed in terms of metal concentration, deposition time and deposition potential. The SWASV resu...

A procedure is described for the determination of selenium in natural waters using cathodic stripping voltammetry in the presence of rhodium. Advantage is taken from a catalytic effect on the electrochemical reduction of protons in the presence of a mixed complex of selenide with rhodium and chloride, containing Cl–Rh–SeH species. The catalysis causes a very large peak-current at a negative pea...

Cathodic adsorptive stripping voltammetry (CASV) was applied for the determination of rutin in pharmaceuticals, human urine, and blood serum. An electrochemical stripping procedure for trace measurements of rutin was developed based on the adsorption of the Cu2þ-rutin complex on a hanging mercury drop electrode and applied to the quantification of the drug. Cyclic voltammetry was used to charac...
