Mg. Bugarin et al., INFLUENCE OF METAL CONCENTRATION AT THE ELECTRODE SURFACE IN DIFFERENTIAL-PULSE ANODIC-STRIPPING VOLTAMMETRY IN THE PRESENCE OF HUMIC MATTER, Analytica chimica acta, 294(3), 1994, pp. 271-281
The influence of metal concentration in bulk solution and of depositio
n time on voltammograms obtained by differential pulse anodic strippin
g voltammetry in the presence of humic matter is discussed based on th
e slow diffusion of complexes, adsorption of the ligand on the electro
de and ligand to metal concentration ratio during the stripping step.
The conditional stability parameters at pH 5, in the bulk solution and
in the absorbed layer, are determined. The concentration of adsorbed
sites is calculated from the saturation of the sites at the electrode
surface with metal ions, estimated either from the critical deposition
time or from the height of the shoulder presented in the voltammogram
.
