Yi. Dyachenko et Vv. Kondratev, EFFECT OF THE SOLUTION COMPOSITION ON THE STRIPPING VOLTAMMETRIC DETERMINATION OF MERCURY AND COPPER IONS ON A GOLD ELECTRODE, Journal of analytical chemistry, 53(4), 1998, pp. 351-356
It was shown that mercury ions can be determined by stripping voltamme
try on a gold electrode in samples of drinking water without sample pr
eparation. The determination of copper on a gold electrode was found t
o be unreasonable. Reasoning from studying the effect of the solution
composition on the character of voltammograms, the limits were determi
ned for the application of the used procedure in the presence of inter
fering anions and complexing organic molecules.
