Abstract
The differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetric behaviour of CrO4 2–, MoO4 2–, WO4 2– and VO3 – has been investigated and applied to the determination of trace concentrations of these oxyanions. Detection limits of 5.6 × 10–7, 6.1 × 10–8, 1.1 × 10–7 and 8 × 10–8 M and quantitation limits of 1.87 × 10–6, 2.03 × 10–7, 1.1 × 10–6 and 2.7 × 10–7 M have been calculated for the cathodic stripping voltammetric determination of CrO4 2–, WO4 2–, MoO4 2– and VO3 –, respectively. The effects of equimolar and lower concentrations of selected cationic and anionic interferents on their differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetric behaviour have also been examined. These reveal that certain heavy metal cations such as PbII, CuII, ZnII, CdII and AgI can compete with HgI for the appropriate oxyanions and that anions such as S2– and l–, which form partially insoluble mercury salts, can compete for sites around the mercury drop.
