The simultaneous electrochemical determination of Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) in the aqueous solution has been developed on the basis of the bismuth film glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DP-ASV). The bismuth film electrode (BiFE) was prepared by adding 500 ppb bismuth(III) directly to the sample solution and simultaneously depositing bismuth and the metal analytes on GCE. The optimal operational parameters, namely, accumulation potential (–1.6 V), accumulation time (110 s), pulsed amplitude (0.07 V), and scan rate (0.021 V·s−1), were found using a Box–Behnken design. Under the optimum conditions, a linear relationship exists between the current and the concentration of Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) in the range between 5.0 ppb and 110.0 ppb with the detection limits of 1.07 for Zn(II), 0.93 ppb for Cd(II), 0.65 ppb for Pb(II), and 0.94 ppb for Cu(II) calculated on the basis of a signal-to-noise ratio equal to 3 (S/N = 3). The interference experiments show that Co(II), Ni(II), and Fe(III) have a little influence on the DP-ASV signals of Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II). In addition, a high reproducibility was indicated from small relative standard deviations (1.03%, 1.74%, 1.32%, and 4.74%) for 25 repeated measurements of 15 ppb copper, lead, cadmium, and zinc solutions. BiFE was successfully applied to determine Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) in river samples, and the results are in a good agreement with those determined with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS).

Abstract A method is described for the simultaneous determination of ultratrace levels of lead and cadmium in selected agricultural crop samples by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. Samples are dry ashed at high temperature with H2SO4 as an ashing aid. Techniques are described to control the lead and cadmium blank levels of 2 ng and 0.4 ng, respectively. Typical relative standard deviations for the crop analyses are 13% at 100 ng/g and 25% at 10 ng/g for lead, and 5% at 100 ng/g and 10% at 10 ng/g for cadmium. The lowest quantifiable level, based on 3 g dry sample, is 2 ng/g for lead and 1 ng/g for cadmium. Recovery studies, precision studies, and analyses of NBS Standard Reference Materials demonstrate the accuracy and reproducibility of this technique. A summary of results for over 1700 crop samples is reported.

We have successfully manufactured a new electrode modified with bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) using carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The electrode was fabricated to detect cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and indium (In) by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DP-ASV). The electrode surface was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the reduction and oxidation processes were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. Operational parameters such as electrode size, bismuth concentration, and electrolytic background were optimized. The DP-ASV method used fabricated electrodes with a linear response range from 1.5–20 μg·L−1 with Cd(II) and Pb(II) and 2.5–20 μg·L−1 with In(III); low detection limit (LOD) of 0.22 μg·L−1 with Cd(II), 0.65 μg·L−1 with In(III), and 0.26 μg·L−1 with Pb(II); and good repeatability with relative standard deviations (RSD) of 2.65%, 2.51%, and 3.34% with Cd(II), Pb(II), and In(III), respectively (n = 8). The electrode can be used to test the content of Cd(II), In(III), and Pb(II) in water.

<p>This paper shows a novel, simple and rapid voltammetric procedure, which enables Cd and Pb determination at traces concentrations. All measurements were carried out by differential  pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) with total time of analysis of 210 s. The obtained detection limits were 8.46 · 10<sup>-10</sup> mol L<sup>-1</sup> and 2.57 · 10<sup>-10</sup> mol L<sup>-1</sup>  for Cd(II) and Pb(II), respectively. This procedure was successfully applied for the quantification of mentioned metal ions in water samples collected from the Vistula River.</p>

An electroanalytical method has been developed for the determination of zinc in whole blood by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) on a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). The best conditions were found to be electrolyte support perchloric acid 0.02M, an accumulation potential of -1150 mV, and an accumulation time of 60 s. The optimum value of stirring rate was determined to be 400 rpm. The correlation coefficient and relative standard deviation were 0.9999 and 3.96% respectively with a detection limit of 0.86 µg L-1. Zinc levels in whole blood samples of 53 healthy subjects living in Tlemcen (west Algeria).

The direct determination of some metals impurity in uranium by using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) method at a hanging mercury drop electrode and in a carbonate buffer media was developed. It was found that the carbonate buffer show the strongest affinity for uranium and gives the best separation between the DPASV peaks of heavy metals impurities. The carbonate concentration markedly affects the oxidation and reduction the major and the minor constituents of the uranium samples. In 0.1 M carbonate buffer solution pH 10, copper, bismuth, thalium, lead, cadmium, zinc, could be determined without the removal of the uranium matrix. Recovery and relative standard deviation (RSD) of this method was in the range of 174% - 85.2% for recovery and 36.8% - 1.2% for RSD. The larger error of analytical result was obtained for Zn at low concentration. In general, the analytic results error and RSD decreased with increasing metals concentration.   Keywords: heavy metal determination, differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry, uranium
