Abstract Thallium concentrations as low as 0.2 ppb may be easily and accurately measured with no sample preparation. The urine is pipetted directly into the electrolysis cell containing 0.1M HClO4 and deaerated; a 2 min electrolysis is performed, and the thallium is oxidized from the mercury-thallium amalgam, using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. The standards are spiked thallium-free urine solutions; thus the samples and standards reflect each other closely, and as the standard curves are repeatable to within ± 5% (down to 2 ppb thallium), the recoveries range from 95 to 105%. Lead is not a serious interference; however, cadmium does interfere and a complexing agent must be used when determining traces of thallium in the presence of cadmium.

AbstractThe renewable mercury film electrode, applied for the determination of papaverine traces using differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry (DP AdSV) is presented. The calibration graph obtained for papaverine is linear from 1.25 nM (0.42 µg L−1) to 95 nM (32.2 µg L−1) for a preconcentration time of 60 s, with correlation coefficient of 0.998. For the renewable mercury electrode (Hg(Ag)FE) with a surface area of 9.1 mm2 the detection limit for a preconcentration time of 60 s is 0.7 nM (0.24 µg L−1). The repeatability of the method at a concentration level of the analyte as low as 17 µg L−1, expressed as RSD is 3.3% (n=5). The proposed method was successfully applied and validated by studying the recovery of papaverine from drugs, urine and synthetic solution.
