Simultaneous determination on a mercury film modified glassy carbon electrode

为了减少镉对肾脏、骨骼和呼吸系统的毒性影响以及铅对神经系统的毒性影响,世界卫生组织(WHO)的《饮用水水质指南》将镉和铅的最高浓度分别设定为 3 µg/L 和 10 µg/L。 在原位汞膜改性玻璃碳电极上采用功能强大的阳极剥离伏安 (ASV) 技术,足以监测世界卫生组织提出的饮用水中镉和铅的指导值。.

To reduce the toxic effects of cadmium on the kidneys, skeleton, and the respiratory system, as well as the neurotoxic effects of lead, the provisional guideline values in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) «Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality» are set to a maximum concentration of 3 µg/L for cadmium and 10 µg/L for lead.

The powerful anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) technique on the ex-situ mercury film modified glassy carbon electrode is more than sufficient to monitor the proposed WHO guidelines for Cd and Pb in drinking water. The main advantage lies in the ultrahigh sensitivity of this method. With a deposition time of 30 s, a limit of detection for β(Cd) = 0.02 μg/L and β(Pb) = 0.05 μg/L can be reached. The linear range for both elements goes up to approximately 50 μg/L using the same deposition time. The ability to re-plate the mercury film allows a quick and easy regeneration of the sensor. This method is best suited for both manual and automated systems, allowing the determination in a sample series comprised of a low to medium number of samples.

Drinking water, mineral water, sea water

Prior to the first determination, the ex-situ mercury film is deposited on the 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 simultaneous determination of cadmium and lead is carried out with the 884 Professional VA using the parameters specified in Table 1. The concentration of both elements is determined by two additions of a cadmium, lead standard addition solution.

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

The method is suitable for the determination of cadmium and lead in concentrations up to 25 µg/L. The limit of detection for 30 s deposition time is approximately 0.02 µg/L for cadmium and 0.05 µg/L for lead.
