Measurement of Copper in Sea-water by Constant Current Stripping Analysis (CCSA) With a Rotating Gold Disk Electrode

Abstract

A chronopotentiometric stripping method [constant current stripping analysis (CCSA)] using a rotating gold disk electrode for measurements of copper in sea-water is described. Compared with a CCSA method using a stationary gold film electrode, the new method has a sensitivity 2.5 times higher and a detection limit of 11 ng lā€“1 after a 5 min deposition time, and eliminates from the analysis the time needed for gold plating. The precision and accuracy of this method agree well with those obtained by other techniques. Vertical profiles of copper obtained by two different chronopotentiometric stripping methods, CCSA and potentiometric stripping analysis (PSA) in west Brittany coastal waters show that the measurement of copper by CCSA coupled with a gold disk electrode appears to be less affected by organic matter than those made by PSA with a mercury electrode.
