Abstract
A new method is proposed for ascertaining the amount of ionic impurities in solvent polymeric membranes of ion-selective electrodes. The method is based on determining the selectivity coefficient for ions of different valences as a function of the concentration of a lipophilized tetraphenylborate salt added to the membrane phase. Thus, the concentration of anionic impurities in commercially available poly(vinyl chloride) and of cationic ones in Tecoflex® (a polyurethane) was obtained as 0.063 ± 0.016 and 0.044 ± 0.006 mmol/kg, respectively.
