This review presents the preparation and use of clay modified electrodes with emphasis on analytical applications. Besides, some investigations on ion-exchange and sorption mechanisms are outlined. Expected prospects of clay modified electrodes in the field of electrochemistry are discussed briefly.
The binding of Hg(I1) with humic acid, incorporated into the carbon paste electrode, was verified. This modified humic acid electrode was used for the trace determination of Hg(I1). The differential-pulse voltammetry on the electrode modiiied with humic acid yielded good performance over the concentration range 5 X lo-* -5 X lo-' M Hg(1I). Only Cu(I1) interferes with the determination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
