The method of anodic linear sweep voltammetry (ALSV) has been used to determine the content of Zn and Cd (up to 4% w/w) in eutectic type binary alloys with Sn. The alloy samples were prepared by casting. The effect of the type and the pH of the electrolyte, as well as of the sweep-rate on the dissolution of Zn and Cd from the alloy during an anodic potentinal-sweep was investigated. It was shown that ALSV is sensitive to low concentrations of both Zn and Cd in the investigated alloys, as well-defined peaks of the dissolution of the two metals were recorded before the massive dissolution of Sn commenced. Well-defined linear dependencies between the quantities of electricity under the dissolution peaks of Zn (QZn) or Cd (QCd) and the respective contents of the metals in the alloys were found. Intercepts at the abscissa were found in both investigated systems indicating the formation of solid solutions from which neither Zn norCd could be eluted. In both alloys, the smallest amount of the alloying component which could be detected was 0.25% (w/w). The application of the ALSV method has several advantages over other analytical methods: it is non-destructive as the dissolution involves only a very thin layer of the alloy; it requires simple and cheap instrumentation; it is fast and relatively sensitive. These make it suitable for routine analysis.

The electrooxidation of luminol in alkaline solutions in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (I) was studied by linear sweep voltammetry on fixed and vibrating platinum electrodes. The presence of I in low concentrations (below the critical micellar concentration) brings about aggregation of the luminol, which is manifested by an increase in the anodic peak height and its shift towards lower potentials. In micellar solutions the peak height decreases owing to the slower diffusion of the bulkier micelles, the shift to lower potentials being preserved. The light-voltage curves correspond with the voltammetric curves, exhibiting identical shifts of the peak potentials in dependence on the concentration of the surfactant.

Recently, the increased use of antibiotics in the environment has been studied and one of them is amoxicillin. Amoxicillin (AMX) is a pharmaceutical product that can become waste due to the continuous use and released into the ecosystem even at low concentrations. The electro-oxidation process is one of the electrochemical methods used to destruct the existence of antibiotics because the process is relatively fast and inexpensive. Platinum electrode and platinum modified cobalt electrodes are used for amoxicillin electro-oxidation at the pH of 2 - 7. The range of this amoxicillin's pH was achieved by the pKa's values of the amoxicillin and measured using a UV/Vis spectrophotometer. Electron transfer during the amoxicillin electro-oxidation process with these electrodes is measured by linear sweep voltammetry. The results obtained during the electro-oxidation process showed that electron transfer of amoxicillin was 1, with a Nernstian factor of 0.0521 V/pH for platinum electrode and platinum modified cobalt electrodes, Pt/Co(OH)2 and Pt/Co respectively with values of 0.0506 V/pH and 0.0673 V/pH.

AbstractThe anodic voltammetric behavior of an antibiotic drug, lincomycin hydrochloride (LIN) at gold electrode (GE) has been investigated using cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry. The dependence of the current on pH, concentration and scan rate were investigated to optimize the experimental conditions for the determination of lincomycin. The anodic peak was characterized and the process was adsorption-controlled. The number of electrons transferred in the oxidation process was calculated. In the range of 8.0×10

The article presents a methodical survey of standard non-destructive analytical methods applied recently to metal objects in the museum. These methods have helped to classify and describe particular pieces in the museum’s collection of metal objects in a more complex ethnological, historical and museological context.
