Preliminary Study of Some Graphite Electrode Surfaces Responsive to Iron and Heavy Metals by Single-Sweep Voltammetry

摘要

The objective of this preliminary study is to see if it is feasible to use some new chemically modified graphite surfaces as electrodes in the field analysis of iron and heavy metals such as copper, lead, cadmium, and zinc in aqueous solution by single-sweep peak voltammetry. This report presents data for iron and some heavy metals obtained from some preliminary experiments performed at NWC with the new graphite electrodes of Clem and NWC polarographic equipment. A short discussion of the results with some conclusions related to future work is given. (Author)
