Fast Simultaneous Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Ni(II) and Co(II) at Lead Film Electrode Plated on Gold Substrate

A fast adsorptive stripping voltammetric procedure for simultaneous determination of Ni(II) and Co(II) in the presence of nioxime as a complexing agent at an in situ plated lead film electrode was described. The time of determination of these ions was shortened due to the application of gold as a substrate for lead film. At gold substrate lead film formation and accumulation of Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes with nioxime proceeds simultaneously. To obtain a stable signals for both ions a simple procedure of activation of the electrode was proposed. Calibration graphs for an accumulation time of 20 s were linear from 5×10−9 to 1×10−7 mol L−1 and from 5×10−10 to 1×10−8 mol L−1 for Ni(II) and Co(II), respectively. The procedure with the application of a lead film electrode on a gold substrate was validated in the course of Ni(II) and Co(II) determination in certified reference materials.
