Paste Electrode

A carbon paste electrode for determination of mercury (II) ions in real samples was prepared. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the concentration of mercury ions in different soil, water, plant, and animal muscle samples by utilizing modified carbon paste electrode. Functionalized nanoporous MCM-48 and multi-walled carbon nanotubes material were used in order to increase the efficiency and selectivity of the electrode for mercury ions determination. The electrode composition material was optimized as graphite powder 57%, Paraffin 22%, modified MCM-48 16% and MWCNTs 5% (W/W). The linear range of the electrode was calculated 5.0×10-8 to 1.0×10-3 mol L-1, and a detection limit was obtained 1.5×10-8 mol L-1. The potential slope was achieved 29.7±1.0 mV, and lifetime for the electrode was investigated about 5 months. The proposed method was applied to a number of natural samples and the amount of mercury was determined.
