Abstract
Two pH-sensitive neutral carrier/PVC electrodes are used simultaneously for the measurement of pH by flow injection. One of these is based on the neutral carrier tridodecylamine and the other on octadecyl isonicotinate, and together they allow the pH range 1–13 to be covered. These electrodes have been used in a very low dispersion miniature potentiometric flow cell designed specifically for use in flow injection in conjunction with a multi-channel data acquisition system. The effects of the solution ionic strength and buffer capacity on the pH measurement are discussed. A flow-injection manifold is proposed which can be used for high-accuracy pH measurements without ionic strength adjustment of the sample and for simultaneous pH and ion concentration measurements with ionic strength adjustment. This has been tested on some synthetic samples for the simultaneous determination of potassium and calcium and the measurement of pH.
