The possibility of determination of chloramphenicol by differential pulse voltammetry at four different carbon paste electrodes, in the full pH range (2–12) of Britton–Robinson (BR) buffer was investigated. Electrodes were prepared by mixing spectroscopic graphite powder or glassy carbon microbeads with mineral oil (Nujol) or tricresyl phosphate. Under optimal conditions (BR buffer pH 12, the electrode prepared from glassy carbon microbeads and tricresyl phosphate), linear calibration graph was obtained only in 10–5 M chloramphenicol concentration range. Determination of lower concentrations of chloramphenicol was complicated by irreproducible peak of oxygen from the carbon paste which overlapped with peak of chloramphenicol. Addition of sodium sulfite removed the oxygen peak without influence on the peak of chloramphenicol. Under optimal conditions (electrode paste made from glassy carbon microbeads, BR buffer pH 10 and 0.5 M sodium sulfite), straight calibration line was obtained in the 10–6 and 10–5 M chloramphenicol concentration range. Limit of determination was 5 × 10–7 mol/l.

Square wave voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry have been used for the determination of 2-acetamidofluorene and fluoren-9-ol using carbon paste electrodes, following the study of the influence of the carbon paste composition on the voltammetric signals of the analytes. The methods are based on the oxidation of the above compounds and they include adsorptive accumulation of the analyte on the surface of the working electrode. The limit of detection was 1 μmol l-1for fluoren-9-ol in a medium of 0.1 M H2SO4, and 40 nmol l-1for 2-acetamidofluorene in Britton-Robinson buffer (pH 7).

The electrochemical oxidation behaviour of Drimarene Blue X-BLN (DB) has been investigated in phosphate buffers (pH 2.54–10.18) by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The oxidation of DB dye generated well-defined pH-dependent two pairs of quasi-reversible anodic-cathodic peak couples. DB exhibited the second redox couple over the entire pH range, while the first redox couple disappeared for pH ≥ 6.70. The redox processes were adsorption-controlled. An electroanalytical method was developed for the determination of DB in phosphate buffer solution (pH 2.85) as supporting electrolyte using DPV. The anodic current heights varied linearly with DB concentrations in the ranges 2 × 10–6–3 × 10–5 and 6 × 10–6–3 × 10–5 mol l–1 with limits of detection (LOD) of 8.7 × 10–7 and 5.7 × 10–7 mol l–1 and limits of quantification (LOQ) of 2.9 × 10–6 and 1.9 × 10–6 mol l–1 for the first and second anodic peaks, respectively. Validation parameters, such as accuracy, precision and recovery were evaluated. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of DB in tap water and the analytical results compared well with those obtained by the spectrophotometric method.
