ПОРІВНЯЛЬНА ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА ЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ ЕЛЕКТРОХІМІЧНИХ МЕТОДІВ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ВМІСТУ ВАЖКИХ МЕТАЛІВ У СТІЧНИХ ВОДАХ

Abstract

Сompare the various modern electrochemical research methods effectiveness used to determine the heavy metals concentration in waste water, based on the literature data. Methodology. Analysis of literature data on the possibilities, advantages and disadvantages of voltammetric, potentiometric, coulometric and conductometric methods for the heavy metals content studying in waste water. Findings. The electrochemical methods are the most common methods for analyzing the composition of waste water. Among their advantages, it should be noted high selectivity, low concentration registration limit (up to 10-10 M for stripping voltammetric methods), simplicity in execution, absence of preliminary long-term samples preparation for analysis, the ability to microvolumes measure without samples destroying and automation of the process for continuous metals concentrations determination in waste water treatment, relatively inexpensive equipment, the ability to determine the concentration of several metal ions in a mixture. Originality. The studies have shown that most often the concentration of heavy metals in waste water determine with the using of the different modifications of voltammetric research methods (polarography and varieties of stripping voltammetry) and potentiometric research methods in particular with highly sensitive and specific ion-selective indicator electrodes. Practical value. The theoretical material on modern electrochemical methods for the heavy metal ions content determining in waste water is generalized.
