There was proposed method for the determination of manganese in drinking water by inverse voltammetry using a mercury film electrode. The determination of manganese in drinking water does not need chemical treatment of a sample. Optimal detection conditions: accumulation potential of -1.75 V, accumulation time 5-30 s, anodic dissolution is performed using square wave voltammetry. Manganese accumulation by the detection limit of 30 seconds is about 0.4 mg l-1, and the relative standard deviations of the working range of concentrations do not exceed 0.10. Actual calcium, magnesium and iron ion concentration in samples of drinking water does not influence the manganese determination. Method comparison with a standard photometric method showed that they are equivalent, but the electrochemical method can be applied in very small concentrations of the manganese, in addition, it does not influence the iron ions in the drinking water. Determination of chromium in cement can be performed by catalytic adsorption voltammetry method using a hanging mercury drop electrode. The medium composition for Cr (VI) determination: 0.15 mol L-1 CH3COONa, 5 mmol l-1 diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), 0.7 mol l-1 NaNO3, pH = 6. Optimal voltammetry conditions: accumulation potential of -0.9 V, accumulation time 5-10 s, square wave voltammetry mode. Cr (VI) detection limit is about 0.05 mg l-1, the relative standard deviation does not exceed 3%. Chromium was extracted from the cement samples with water or nitric acid. Total chromium is determined quantitatively by oxidation of Cr (III) to Cr (VI) by adding 0.1-0.3 mmol of a permanganate ions in cement extract. Cr (III) concentrations are calculated as the difference between total chromium and Cr (VI) concentration. |
