The polarographic and voltammetric determination of 2,6-dichloro-4-nitro-2'-acetylamino-4'-diethylaminoazobenzene

Abstract
The polarographic reduction of the title azo dye has been studied, a mechanism has been proposed and optimal conditions have been found for its analytical use. The detection limit using a classical dropping mercury electrode was 2 . 10-7 mol l-1 for TAST polarography and 1 . 10-8 mol l-1 for differential pulse polarography. Using a hanging mercury drop electrode, the detection limit was 9 . 10-9 mol l-1 for fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and 1 . 10-8 mol l-1 for linear scan voltammetry. Adsorption accumulation of the test substance on the surface of the hanging mercury drop electrode led to a further decrease in the detection limit to 1 . 10-9 mol l-1 for fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and 7 . 10-10 mol l-1 for linear scan voltammetry.
