Abstract
AbstractA new selective, sensitive, and rapid response microelectrode for microamount chromium(III) determination was developed. For the electrode preparation, fuchsin basic was electropolymerized onto a carbon microdisk electrode, and then diethylenetriamminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) was self‐assembled on the electrode surface by the reaction between DTPA and poly(fuchsin basic). The determination conditions were optimized. The electrode showed a linear response to Cr3+ ions in the concentration range of 1.0×10−6−1.0×10−4 M and exhibits a super‐Nernstian slope of 32.5±0.4 mV per decade. The detection limit is 3.6×10−7 M. The response time of the electrode is less than 10 s, and it can be used for at least 2 months with limited considerable divergences in its potentials. The proposed electrode was applied for monitoring the chromium ion level in wastewater of chromate industries.
