An ultra-sensitive method for a wide concentration range on the mercury film modified glassy carbon electrode

目前还没有锌的健康指导值。不过，为了保持优质的市政饮用水，美国环境保护局（US-EPA）将最高浓度设定为 5 mg/L。地表水和地下水中的锌浓度通常在 10-40 μg/L 之间，自来水中的锌浓度最高可达 1 mg/L。 在原位汞膜修饰的玻璃碳电极上进行阳极溶出伏安法（ASV）测定饮用水中的锌含量，可替代原子吸收光谱法（AAS）。

No health-based guideline value exists for zinc. However, to maintain good quality municipal drinking water, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA) set a maximum concentration of 5 mg/L as the limit value. Typical concentrations in surface and ground waters are between 10–40 μg/L Zn. In tap water, this value can be up to 1 mg/L due to leaching of zinc from piping and fittings.

Anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) on the ex-situ mercury film modified glassy carbon electrode provides a less complex alternative to atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) for zinc determination in drinking water. The main advantage of this method is the high sensitivity. With a deposition time of 10 s, the limit of detection for zinc is 0.15 μg/L. The linear working range goes up to approximately 300 μg/L. This method is suited for manual and automated systems.

Drinking water, mineral water, sea water

Prior to the first determination, the ex-situ mercury film is deposited on a freshly polished glassy carbon electrode. In the next step, the electrodes are cleaned with ultrapure water and the measuring vessel is emptied. Then the water sample and the supporting electrolyte are pipetted into the measuring vessel. The determination of zinc is carried out with the 884 Professional VA using the parameters specified in Table 1. The concentration is determined by two additions of a zinc standard addition solution.

  • Working electrode: Glassy carbon (GC-RDE)
  • Reference electrode: Ag/AgCl/KCl (3 mol/L)
  • Auxiliary electrode: Glassy carbon rod

With the deposition time of 10 s, the method is suitable for samples between 10–150 μg/L zinc.
