Abstract
The oxidation of free chlorine on platinum, gold, and glassy carbon disk electrodes has been investigated by using anodic voltammetry to determine the free-chlorine concentration. The voltammetric curves exhibited well-defined anodic peaks. The influences of pH, free-chlorine concentration, and potential sweep rate on the electrode response were investigated. The results show that the measurement of the oxidation peak current can be used as the basis for a simple, accurate, and rapid method for the determination of ClO −, within a concentration range of 4–400 mg Cl l −1. The results of this method were in good agreement with those obtained by iodometric titration. Differential pulse voltammetry has also been examined, resulting in an improved sensitivity at a concentration of 1.0 mg Cl l −1.
