Stripping Voltammetry in Trace Ga(III) Analysis Using Different Working Electrodes: A Review.

Heavy metal contamination of water has become a global environmental problem in recent years, which is caused by the rapid development of economies and industries. Gallium is of enduring interest because of its wide range of applications in technology and industry. In its pure form or as a component of alloys, gallium is used in devices such as high-current switches, pressure gauges, and thermometers.

Use of Adsorption Properties of Resin for Water Sample Preparation in Voltammetric Determination of Se(IV) Using Bismuth Microelectrode.

This paper proposes a simple, environmentally friendly, and efficient procedure for preparing natural water samples for the voltammetric determination of trace amounts of Se(IV). The method is based on premixing a sample with Amberlite XAD-7 resin at 50 °C. The composition of the 10 mL solution consists of the sample to be analysed, 0.

Microelectrode Voltammetric Analysis of Low Concentrations of Se(IV) Ions in Environmental Waters.

The current research is an attempt to analyze on-site selenium(IV) ions in environmental water samples using an eco-friendly miniaturized sensor developed by deposition of a very thin amount of metallic bismuth in a solid Bi electrode tightly closed in miniaturized housing. Numerous experimental variables are optimized, including the composition of the supporting electrolyte and its pH, as well as activation and accumulation conditions. Under optimized measurement conditions, the method shows high sensitivity, permitting a very low limit of detection equal to 7 × 10 mol L to be achieved in a short accumulation time of 50 s.

A Convenient Strategy for the Voltammetric Direct Determination of Ce(III) in Environmental Waters Using a Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Modified Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode.

A simple and fast stripping voltammetric procedure for trace determination of Ce(III) in environmental water samples has been developed. The procedure of cerium determination in the presence of Alizarin S and acetate buffer was employed as the initial method. The adsorption material, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, was used as a screen-printed electrode modifier ensuring efficient accumulation of the Ce(III)-Alizarin S complex.

Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes/Spherical Glassy Carbon as Environmentally Friendly Adsorption Materials Utilized in Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry for the Determination of Trace Amounts of Ga(III).

This work presents a proposal for an adsorptive stripping voltammetric (AdSV) method for gallium(III) determination at an eco-friendly multiwall carbon nanotube/spherical glassy carbon (MWCNT/SGC) electrode modified with a lead film. The operational factors influencing the sensitivity of the AdSV procedure were thoroughly investigated, and their most favorable values were chosen (0.1 mol L acetate buffer solution pH = 5.
