Using the organofunctionalised SBA-15 nanostructured silica as a carbon paste electrode modifier: determination of cadmium ions by differential anodic pulse stripping voltammetry
The performance of a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with SBA-15 nanostructured silica organofunctionalised with 2-benzothiazolethiol in the determination of Cd(II) ions in natural water is described, based in a DPASV procedure. The Cd(II) oxidation peak was observed around -0.85 V (vs. SCE) in phosphate buffer (pH 3.0). The best results were obtained under the following optimised conditions: 100 mV pulse amplitude, 2 min accumulation time, 10 mV s-1 scan rate in phosphate buffer pH 3.0. Using such parameters a linear dynamic range from 1.00 to 10.0 <FONT FACE=Symbol>´</FONT> 10-6 mol L-1 Cd(II) was observed with limit of detection 4.5 <FONT FACE=Symbol>´</FONT> 10-7 mol L-1. Cd(II) spiked in a natural water sample was determined with 96.4% mean recovery at µmol L-1 level. The results indicate that this electrode is sensitive for determination of Cd(II). Interference of some divalent cations were also evaluated.
