Selective method for the determination of gold by anodic stripping voltammetry

Abstract:
A highly selective method for the deter- mination of gold by anodic stripping voltammetry is described. For preconcentration a glassy carbon electrode, activated by deposition of small amounts of gold before the measurement, is proposed. The Au(3+) reduction process at such an electrode is effective starting with the potential +0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl electrode. A linear dependence of the current of the gold stripping peak on the gold concentration was obtained in the range from 5x10(-8) to 1x10(-6) mol/l. The relative standard deviation for 2x10(-7) mol/l HAuCl(4) was 4.2% (n=5). The detection limit was 4x10(-9) mol/l. The accuracy of the method was verified by the determination of gold in reference materials.
