Abstract
The electrodeposition of copper on a graphite electrode at a constant potential with subsequent atomization in the graphite atomizer HGA-400 has been studied. A special graphite disk electrode is suitable for electrochemical enrichment at E = −0.7 V vs. SCE and the determination of copper by electrothermal-atomic absorption spectrometry (ET-AAS) if atomized at 2300 °C. In this way copper was determined in potable water and free Cu 2+ could be distinguished from that bound in chelate speciations after using a suitable deposition potential of the working electrode. This approach seems to be an alternative to the commonly used anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) for the preconcentration and determination of free metal ions.
