Abstract
In flow potentiometric stripping analysis for mercury in urine, the samples are acidified with concentrated nitric acid and heated to boiling for 10 min. After cooling, the samples are buffered by the addition of concentrated ammonia and then pre-electrolysed at a gold working electrode for 90 s at -0.25 V vs. SCE at a flow rate of 1.75 ml min -1. The stripping solution is 1 M sodium bromide solution acidified with 0.1 M hydrochloric acid and containing chromium(VI). The detection limit at one sigma level is 0.05 μM. Orchard leaves, sediment and fish muscles are digested in nitric acid at 140°C for 30 min prior to buffering with ammonia and potentiometric stripping analysis for 200 s at -0.20 V vs. SCE at a flow rate of 1.75 ml min -1.
