Disposal graphite pencil sensor for trace detection of phthalic acid diamide insecticide flubendiamide in wastewater and white rice

Abstract

ABSTRACT An analytical method for the determination of Flubendiamide (FBD) was investigated for the first time in this study using disposable pencil graphite electrodes (PGE). A detailed study of the electrochemical properties of FBD was carried out in phosphate buffer solution (PBS, pH 7.0). The results showed a well-defined reversible system result from the transformation of FBD to the corresponding hydroxyl-derivative. The results showed a linear range from 1 to 500 µM (R2 = 0. 9952), as well as detection limit of 0.53 µM. The PGE sensor was successfully applied for the detection of FBD in wastewater and white rice.
