Abstract
A new highly selective poly vinyl chloride (PVC) membrane thiocyanate (SCN–) electrode of copper (II) complex with ethylene-diamine-bis-(salicylaldehyde) [Cu (II)-SALEN] base with neutral carrier was studied, it displays a preferential potentiometric response to SCN– . The electrode exhibited near Nernst potential response to SCN– with a concentration range of 1.0×10-1~1.0×10-7 mol/L, a slope of -46 mV/p SCN– and a detection limit of 3.5×10-8 mol/L in pH5.5 of phosphate buffer solution at 25°C. PVC membrane electrode based on Cu (II)-SALEN had good selectivity to SCN– and some common anions had little interference with it. This electrode was applied to the determination of SCN– in waste water and the result obtained were in good agreement with those of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.
