Construction and characterization a non-amalgamation voltammetric flow sensor for online simultaneous determination of lead and cadmium ions
A non-amalgamation electrochemical flow sensor is proposed for application in the continuous flow simultaneous determination of the Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions by Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DPASV). The sensor was simply constructed by immobilization of a uniform and homogeneous composite film of MWCNTs and poly alizarin red S (MWCNTs-PARS) on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (MWCNTs-PARS/GCE) via in situ electro-polymerization from a homogeneous suspension of MWCNTs and alizarin red S (ARS). The trapping of metals through the Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) electrochemical accumulation step is based upon a complex formation instead of the conventional amalgamation process. Under the optimum conditions, well-defined sharp stripping peaks were observed in the determination of the Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions. Linear responses were obtained for these ions in the ranges of 5.0–160.0 and 5.0–150.0μgL−1, respectively, and with the detection limits of 0.43 and 0.47μgL−1 for them, respectively. MWCNTs-PARS/GCE was successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of these ions in soil, wastewater, and tap water samples with satisfactory results. The results obtained were in agreement with those obtained by the AAS method.
