Chronopotentiometric Determination of Organic Pollutants Using Reticulated Vitreous Carbon Electrode

Abstract

The utilization of electroanalytical method chronopotentiometry was tested for the determination of organic pollutants based on their oxidation and/or reduction by a constant current on a reticulated vitreous carbon electrode. Experimental parameters of chronopotentiometric measurement, such an optimal pH of Britton-Robinson buffer and oxidation/reduction current were investigated.
