Abstract
In this research, we constructed chemical sensor for determining mercury in contaminated water because we needed fast, simple, low-cost, and accurate determination of mercury in different environmental systems. Although several methods have been developed for determination of mercury ion in contaminated water, there is no a cheap, simple, accurate and rapid method to measure this ion. Aim of this study is to develop a new method to measure the mercury based on using nanosilica, multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and 1,13-Bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane (Kryptofix 5) as an ionophore for modification of a CPE. The optimum composition of modified CPE was determined as 63.6% of graphite powder, 25% of paraffin oil, 4% of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), 0.4% nanosilica and 7% of ionophore. This optimum composition was shown high selectivity, with appropriate Nernestian slope (29.5 ± 0.4mV/decade), linear range (from 1.0×10-2to 1.0×10-8M), with a detection limit of (2.0×10-9M), The response of the sensor is independent of pH in the range of 3.1 – 8.4, and The interference of different ionic species with the response of the electrode shows a good selectivity of the proposed sensor The proposed sensor is successfully applied in determination of mercury ions in some contaminated water samples. The results of this study to introduce a cheap accurate and simple method for determination of mercury ion in contaminated water.
