Abstract
AbstractA method for the voltammetric determination of vanadium using a carbon paste electrode (CPE) was described. The new procedure is based on the adsorptive accumulation of the V(V)‐alizarin red S(ARS) complex onto the surface of the CPE, followed by the electrochemical reduction of adsorbed species. The optimal experimental conditions include the use of 0.10 mol/L acetate buffer (pH 5.1), 1.0×10−5 mol/L ARS, an accumulation potential of −0.10 V (versus SCE), an accumulation time of 2 min, a scan rate of 200 mV/s and a second‐order derivative linear scan mode. The reduction peak for the complex appears at −0.52 V. The peak current is proportional to the concentration of V(V) over the range of 0.10–15.0 μg/L, and the detection limit is 0.04 μg/L for a 2 min adsorption time. The relative standard deviations(n=8) for 2.0 and 0.50 μg/L V(V) are 3.1 and 4.7%, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of vanadium in water samples.
