Abstract

The electrochemical behaviour of tilmicosin (TIM) was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and square-wave voltammetry in Britton-Robinson buffers (pH 2–12). The voltammograms of TIM showed one-irreversible peak which attributed to reduction of the >C=C C=C C=C< group was shifted to the more negative values with increasing pH. According to the obtained voltammetric data, the probable reaction mechanism for the reduction of TIM was proposed. Moreover, the adsorption of TIM on the mercury electrode surface by means of square-wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry measurements is studied at different pH values. The peak current variations with the deposition time and TIM concentration were observed.
