How faster and cheaper to determine chromium by adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry in the presence of DTPA and nitrate.
A modification of the voltammetric procedure for the determination of chromium in the presence of DTPA and nitrates was proposed. Morpholinoethanesulfonic (MES) acid and its sodium salt were used for stabilisation of pH instead of acetate buffer. In the presence of MES the determination of chromium can be carried out in the presence of dissolved oxygen without decrease of sensitivity of the measurements. Elimination of the purge step decreases total analysis time and saves gas.
