Voltammetric Determination of 2-Methoxy-5-nitrophenol at Nontraditional Electrodes

Voltammetric determination of 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenol was studied using DC voltammetry (DCV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at a carbon film electrode (CFE) and a meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode (m-AgSAE). Conditions were found for its determination by DCV and DPV at CFE in Britton - Robinson buffer within concentration range 1.10-4 - 1.10-6 mol.l-1 . Using adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) m-AgSAE in Britton - Robinson buffer pH 2,0 compound this determined in the concentration range (2 - 10) .10-7 mol.l-1 with a limit of detection 3,6.10-7 mol.l-1 . Using a combination of DPV with solid phase extraction (SPE) for determination of 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenol in river water, limit of detection 6,6.10-8 mol.l-1 was abtained. Using cyclic voltammetry (CV) at m-AgSAE and at CFE mechanism of electrochemical reduction 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenol was proposed
