voltammetric analysis of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in environmental water using a boron doped diamond electrode and an adapted unmanned air vehicle sampling platform.

In the present work a voltammetric method was developed for detection of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in environmental water samples, using a compact and lightweight electrochemical cell using a fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer with biodegradable polylactic acid filament, and a boron-doped diamond electrode (BDDE). The samples were collected by an adapted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a micropump and a miniature solenoid valve powered by an open source microcontroller. After optimizing the supporting electrolyte, pH and parameters of the square wave voltammetry (SWV) a linear analytical curve for 2,4-D in 0.
