description | The complicated analytical challenge of lead determination in the presence of high levels of copper, has been investigated using anodic and cathodic stripping voltammetry, on a variety of mercury free electrode substrates. CSV was found to be ideally suited towards lead determination in a predominantly copper matrix, due to the lack of interference from copper ions on the anodic electrochemistry of lead. A CSV technique, incorporating the use of power-ultrasound and a borondoped diamond electrode is presented. The sono-CSV technique has been optimised to give a lower limit of detection of aqueous Pb2+ ions of 1.6x10-9 M for a 300 s PbO2 deposition, requires no solution degassing, is mercury-free and totally free from copper-intermetallic interference. As an extreme example, the technique was applied successfully to the determination of lead content of a copper-lead alloy, after a simple acid digestion protocol. EXcellent correlation was observed between the known lead level and experimental results, with the technique being sensitive towards the detection of 3.3x10-4% (w/w) lead in copper, for the analysis of a 10 mg sample. |
