Description
Summary:Samarium  ion selective  electrodes  we1·e  construct.ed  and  prepared then  tested as  probefor  Samarium  ion detection  and determination  in different aqueous solutions. The sensitive membrane is made of  PVC which contains Samarium picrate complexed with either 18-crown-6 or 15-crown-5 ethers as active species. Different  plasticizers:  phthalates  (DBPH),  phosphates  (DBP)  and phosphonates  (DOPP) were incorporated into the membranes as solvent mediators. Every   membrane   was   evaluated   practically   following   standard proced ures to find out its reliability and durability as a probe suitable for analytical application. Linear working range, Ncrnestain slope, detection l imit, measurement stability, response time  and electrode  l ife tirnc were calculated  for each electrode. The l inear concentration range for most ol'the electrodes were from -      _, 10 to 10 molar Sm (III), the slope was 18 mv/decade to 20 mv/decade whi l e the working pH range was from 3 to 8. Cations interference and anion radicals Na+, Ca2+, La"+, Nd '+ have no effect on the measurement selectivity except  in the presence M (Ill) ions.
