"Chalcogenide-based All-solid-state Thin Electroplated Ion-selective Membrane For Mercury(II) Flow Injection Determinations"

Abstract: A Te-doped silver chalcogenide membrane of general formula Ag2+δSe1-xTex was prepared by electrochemical deposition on a Pt cathode. The electrode was placed in a FIA system and its response to different concentrations of Hg(II) was evaluated, with a carrier comprising 0.01 M KNO3/0.01 M HNO3/0.3 µM-Hg(NO3)2 at a flow rate of 5 ml/min. The membrane had a primary response to Ag(I) and a secondary response to Hg(II); the mechanism and kinetics of these responses and the observed chemical amplification of the signal are discussed. The linearity of the detector extended over the Hg(II) concentration range 1 µM-1 mM, giving a double-Nernstian slope of the calibration graph and an electrode function of 59 mV/decade. For a sample injection volume of 100 µL and a dispersion coil length of 70 cm, the sample throughput was 65-70/h. The detector was stable for at least 14 days and showed good selectivity (only chloride and strong oxidants interfered). It measured total rather than free Hg(II), so could not be used in speciation studies.

Abstract: A flow cell with a poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) neutral-ionophore liq.-membrane ion-selective electrode was developed for flow injection potentiometry (FIP). The flow system was optimized and five substituted azacrown ethers: 7,16-dithenoyl-1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane (DTODC), 7,16-di-(2-thiopheneacetyl)-1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane (DTAODC), 7,16-dithenyl-1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane (DTDC), 1,10-dioxa-4,7,13,16-tetraazacyclooctadecane (TC) and 4,7,13,16-tetrathenoyl-1,10-dioxa-4,7,13,16-tetraazacyclooctadecane (TTOTC) synthesized and studied as the ionophores in Pb2+ (DTAODC, TTOTC) and Hg2+ (DTDC, DTODC, TC, TTOTC) selective electrodes. The short contact times between analyte and ionophore in FIP allow the measurement of a strongly complexing ion such as Hg2+ that sats. the electrodes in batch anal., or in continuous-flow anal. that comes to a steady state. For the mercury-selective electrodes with ionophores with amide functional groups (TTOTC and DTODC) a carrier of 10 mM potassium nitrate increases the speed of response and recovery to baseline. The linear calibration range for a DTAODC lead-selective electrode was pPb = 2.0 to 5.0 with a slope of 32.5 mV decade-1 and for a TTOTC mercury-selective electrode, pHg = 3.0 to 5.5 with a slope of 28.4 mV decade-1. Highly reproducible measurements were obtained (relative standard deviation <2%) at a flow rate of 3.0 mL min-1 giving a typical throughput of 40 samples h-1 for Pb2+ and 30 samples h-1 for Hg2+.

Abstract: Two modifications of the flow and batch injection (BIA) methods (schematic given) were applied to an Hg ISE. The sensitive membranes were prepared from Ag8HgS2I6 (details given). The membranes equipped with a solid Ag contact were pressed and attached to PVC tubes with epoxy resin. The resulting sensors exhibited stable and reproducible behavior towards 1 µM- to 0.1 M Hg and the detection limit was 0.3 µM or 1 µM (BIA). BIA gave better reproducibility.

Abstract: A version of flow injection determination has been developed for low concentrations of mercury in aqueous solutions; this version involves the sorption pre-concentration of mercury and its simultaneous transformation into anal. active species. A tetraiodomercurate liquid electrode selective for mercury iodide complexes was proposed as a detector.
