Anodic stripping voltammetric determination of trace lead with a nafion/crown-ether film electrode.
An electrode for the anodic stripping voltammetric determination of trace lead has been made by coating glassy carbon with a film of Naflon in which a crown ether is incorporated. The sensitivity is increased because of continuous transfer of lead from solution to the electrode surface by complexation with the crown ether and reduction during the deposition period. A detection limit of 5 x 10(-10)M has been obtained by electrodeposition for 3 min. The method is sensitive, simple and relatively rapid, with a relative standard deviation of 8% at the 2 x 10(-9)M level.
