In this work, a microfabricated Au-film sensor was designed and fabricated for thevoltammmetric determination of Hg(II). The electrode was fabricated on a silicon chip with astandard microengineering approach utilizing photolithography for patterning the electrode shapeand sputtering for deposition of thin Cr and Au films on the surface of the sensors. The sensorswere used for the determination of trace Hg(II) with anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV): initiallyHg(II) in the sample was accumulated on the Au working electrode surface by reduction andformation of an Au(Hg) amalgam followed by oxidation of the preconcentrated metallic Hg using asquare wave voltammetric scan. The limit of detection was 1.5μgL−1 and the coefficient of variationof 10 consecutive measurements was 3.1%.

The purpose of this study was to develop an inexpensive, simple, and highly selective cork-modified carbon paste electrode for the determination of Pb(II) by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) and square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). Among the cork–graphite electrodes investigated, the one containing 70% w/w carbon showed the highest sensitivity for the determination of Pb(II) in aqueous solutions. Under SWASV conditions, its linear range and relative standard deviation are equal to 1–25 µM and 1.4%, respectively; the limit of detection complies with the value recommended by the World Health Organization. To optimize the operating conditions, the selectivity and accuracy of the analysis were further investigated by SWASV in acidic media. Finally, the electrode was successfully applied for the determination of Pb(II) in natural water samples, proving to be a sensitive electrochemical sensor that meets the stringent environmental control requirements.

ABSTRAK Analisis logam berat Cu(II) dilakukan dengan metode voltametri pelucutan anodik gelombang persegi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui validitas metode voltametri pelucutan anodik yang digunakan dalam pengukuran kadar logam Cu(II) dalam sampel kangkung air di muara sungai Badung. Elektroda glassy carbon digunakan sebagai elektroda kerja, Ag/AgCl sebagai elektroda pembanding, dan kawat platina sebagai elektroda pembantu. Parameter yang dioptimasi meliputi waktu deposisi dan laju pindai dalam larutan standar Cu(II) 500 ppb. Validasi metode ditentukan dengan menentukan rentang konsentrasi linier, limit deteksi, keberulangan pengukuran, dan persen perolehan kembali. Teknik voltametri pelucutan anodik kemudian digunakan untuk mengukur kadar logam Cu(II) pada sampel kangkung air.Hasil optimasi pengukuran kadar logam Cu(II) yaitu waktu deposisi optimum 60 detik dan laju pindai optimum 10 mV/detik. Pengukuran validitas larutan standar logam Cu(II), rentang konsentrasi linier larutan 50 ~500 ppb dan memiliki nilai koefisien korelasi 0,9983. Limit deteksi 35 ppb, keberulangan pengukuran memiliki rasio Horwitz kurang dari 2, dan persen perolehan kembali 99,35% ± 0,4526. Hasil pengukuran sampel tanaman kangkung memiliki kandungan logam Cu(II) sebesar 4,0 ppm. Berdasarkan Keputusan Direktur Jenderal Pengawasan Obat dan Makanan batas maksimum cemaran logam dalam makanan untuk logam Cu(II) adalah 5,0 ppm. Oleh karena itu dapat diketahui bahwa kandungan logam Cu(II) tidak melebihi kadar maksimum yang diperkenankan. Kata Kunci : logam berat, voltametri pelucutan anodik gelombang persegi, kangkung airABSTRACTHeavy metal analysis of Cu(II) was measured by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry method. The aim of this research is to know the validity of square wave anodic stripping voltammetry method for determination of Cu(II) in water spinach from the estuary of  Badung river. Glassy carbon, Ag/AgCl, and Pt wire electrodes were used as working electrode, reference electrode and counter electrode, respectively. Optimized parameter involved the deposition time and scan rate in standard solution Cu(II) 500 ppb. Furthermore, the validation method was examined by determination of linear concentration range, limit of detection, repetition of measurement, and percent of recovery. Moreover, the result of validation was used for observing of heavy metal Cu(II) content in water spinach.             The result of optimum deposition time is 60 s. Meanwhile, the scan rate optimum is 10 mV/s. Measurement for standard solution 50 ~ 500 ppb on linear concentration range, with correlation coefficient 0,9983. Limit of detection is 35 ppb, repetition of measurement for metal has Horwitz ratio less than 2, and percent recovery of Cu(II) measurement is 99,35% ± 0,4526. The measurement of Cu(II) content in the water spinach sample contain Cu(II) 4,0 ppm. Based on Decree of Directorate General for Drug and Food Control, the treshold line for Cu(II) contamination for food is 5,0 ppm. Therefore, the water spinach sample contain Cu(II) is less than accepted value. Keyword : Heavy metal, square wave anodic stripping voltammetry, water spinach

A simple voltammetric method using a glassy carbon working electrode was developed for the determination of two members from the neonicotinoid group of insecticides: imidacloprid and thiamethoxam. The experiments showed that the voltammetric response depends on the mode of electrode surface pretreatment and the polarization mode. The response appeared to be linear in the range from 0.028 to 0.50 mg/cm3 for both analyses. The limit of detection was 0.0077 mg/cm3 for imidacloprid and 0.0085 mg/cm3 for thiamethoxam, the limit of quantitation was 0.026 mg/cm3 and 0.028 mg/cm3, respectively. The developed method was applied for the determination of these insecticides in potato samples sprayed with Confidor 200-SL or Actara 25-WG as well as commercial formulations of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam. A recovery trial was performed to assess the accuracy of the results, the recovery values being between 95?102 % for both of neonicotinoids.

The effects of salinity on the release of copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in tailing sediment have been studied by stripping voltammetry. The purpose of the research is to know the effect of salinity on the release of metals with certain pH, conductivity and variety of metals. Simultaneous determination of copper, lead and zinc in tailing was done by Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DPASV) onto hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) and nitric acid 65% as support electrolyte. The limit of detection for this method 0.60 µg/L, 0.150 µg/L and 0.238 µg/L for copper, lead and iMc respectively. The stripping solution of 300/00 salinity with pH= 7.85, conductivity= 46.62 mS/cm gives the amounts of released metals as follows :14.867 µg/L Cu, 0.976 µg/L Pb and 6.224 µg/L Zn. These results are higher as compared with the results from 15 0/00 salinity with pH= 7.66, conductivity= 23.22 mS/cm that give released metals of Cu= 7.988 µg/L, Pb= 0.311 µg/L and Zn= 4.699 µg/L. the results from ANOVA suggest that this is due to different in salinity of the solution. It also found that the conductivity does not give any effect. It can be concluded that the higher salinity will that give higher concentration or released metals.
