Abstract:
      Potentiometric stripping analysis method was proposed for determination of trace amounts of heavy metals( zinc, cadmium and lead) by use of antimony electrode as working electrode. The experimental conditions for simultaneous determination of zinc, cadmium and lead were optimized. In HAc-NaAc buffer solutions (pH=5.0), the sensitive potentiometric stripping peaks (dt/dE) of Zn2+、Cd2+、Pb2+ ions were obtained as -1.07, -0.70 and -0.52 V, respectively. With the deposition time of 60s, the potentiometric stripping peak value changed linearly with the ion concentrations in the range of 0~16 .0 μg/mL, 0~1.6 μg/mL and 0~0.08 μg/mL for zinc, cadmium and lead, respectively. The detection limit of Zn2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ was 4, 0.3 and 0.03 μg/L, respectively. The method was applied to determine trace amounts of zinc, cadmium and lead in water samples with satisfactory results.
