Abstract

AbstractThis article describes the determination of Eu by adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry after complexation with N‐nitroso‐N‐phenylhydroxylamine (cupferron). The accumulation of the complex at the HMDE was performed at 0.0 V and the subsequent potential scan was made in the square wave mode. The analyte signal occurred at −0.88 V. The detection limit is 0.06 nmol dm−3. The effect of instrumental and chemical parameters on the peak height and potential was investigated. The same technique can be used for the determination of ytterbium and of the other rare earth elements (REEs) after separation.
