A contribution to the use of chelating agents in anodic stripping voltammetry.
The E(p)/(2), values of the ions Pb(2+), Bi(3+), Cu(2+), Cd(2+), Tl(+) were determined by means of cyclic voltammetry in solutions of acetate and Britton-Robinson buffers and in solutions containing EDTA and DCTA. DCTA was then utilized in the determination of small amounts of bismuth, down to 10(-7)M, in the presence of 10(4) times as much lead, and of traces of thallium down to 5 x 10(-9)M in the presence of 2 x 10(5) times as much cadmium by anodic stripping voltammetry. The precision was good. Further, the trace copper concentration in analytical grade DCTA was determined. A new flow-through vessel for stripping analysis with solution exchange is also described and the reproducibility of results without solution exchange, with manual solution exchange, and with the flow-through vessel is evaluated for a model determination of thallium in a DCTA solution.
