Abstract
Nitrite has a very strong catalytic effect on the bromate oxidation of Methyl Orange in dilute sulphuric acid medium. The oxidation product of methyl orange exhibits a well derivative voltammetric wave at −0.41 V vs. SCE in sodium hydroxide medium. The linear scan voltammetric behaviour for the product at a DME has been studied, and it was selected as indicator component for the indicator reaction. Based on these studies, a novel and highly sensitive and selective catalytic reaction-voltammetric method for nitrite is proposed. A detection limit of 2 × 10 −9 M and calibration graph from 4 × 10 −7 to 4 × 10 −7 M nitrite are obtained. Nitrite in water samples was determined by this method, with satisfactory results.
