Ammonium ion sensor based on SiO2/ZrO2/phosphate-NH4+ composite for quantification of ammonium ions in natural waters
Full text linkIon selective-electrode was constructed and evaluated for determination of ammonium ions in natural waters. The electrode consists of paste carbon with the composite SiO2/ZrO2/phosphate-NH4+ obtained through sol-gel process. The electrode exhibits a sub-Nernstian response for ammonium concentrations between 7.7<FONT FACE=Symbol>´</FONT>10-7 and 4.0<FONT FACE=Symbol>´</FONT>10-2 mol L-1 and a detection limit of 1.58<FONT FACE=Symbol>´</FONT>10-7 mol L-1 (8.5<FONT FACE=Symbol>´</FONT>10-3 ppm). The electrode response for ammonium was fast (1 minute). The selectivity coefficients KpotA,B for several ions usually present in natural waters were determined applying the matched potential method. The potentiometric method with the ion selective electrode was validated by the Berthelot method (standard method), through the determination of ammonium ions in natural waters. The ion selective-electrode proved suitable for routine quality control of natural waters by potentiometry

O eletrodo consiste de uma pasta de carbono com o compósito SiO2/ZrO2/fosfato-NH4+ obtido pelo processo de sol-gel. O eletrodo exibe uma resposta sub-Nenstiana para concentrações entre 7,7´10-7 e 4,0´10-2 mol L-1 e um limite de detecção de 1,58´10-7 mol L-1 (8,5´10-3 ppm). A resposta do eletrodo foi rápida (1 minuto). Os coeficientes de seletividade KpotA,B para os diversos íons geralmente presentes em águas naturais foram determinados pela aplicação do matched potential method. O método potenciométrico com o eletrodo íon seletivo foi validado pelo método de Berthelot (método padrão) pela determinação de íons amônio em águas naturais. O eletrodo íon seletivo provou ser satisfatório para o controle de qualidade de águas naturais.18919
