The feasibility of using a K ion-selective electrode (K-ISE) to monitor changes in solution K concentration in soil suspensions with time, under shaking conditions, was investigated and its significance in kinetics studies of K adsorption was discussed. Factors that affect the efficiency of the K-ISE method include the response time of the electrode, influence of suspended soil particles, shaking speed, and ionic strength of the system. The response time of the K-ISE decreased with increasing K concentration. Moreover, for a system with a solution K concentration greater than 10 mg K L−1, errors resulting from response delays were negligible when, under shaking conditions, observation time intervals were greater than 30 s. The influence of suspended soil particles on the K-ISE method was negligible for soil suspensions with a solution/soil ratio of 50:1 (vol/wt). Shaking significantly influenced K-ISE determination of solution K concentration. The degree of the influence of shaking on the determination of solution K appeared to be related to ionic factors of the systems. Shaking had much less influence on the soil suspensions, the filtrates and mixed CaCl2-KCl solutions than on pure KCl solutions. Satisfactory results were obtained by taking into account the response time, suspended soil particle and shaking speed factors and by adjusting the ionic strength of the calibration system (KCl standard solution series). Key words: Potassium ion-selective PVC membrane electrode, batch technique, kinetics, calibration system, electrode response time, suspended soil particle, shaking speed, ionic strength

Preparation of the chitosan membrane of ion-selective electrode for determination of cadmium ion has been conducted. Chitosan is a natural polymer containing nitrogen could coordinate with Cd2+ to increase the membrane conductivity value. Chitosan is a principal material and mixed with polyvinylchloride (PVC) as matrix dissolved previously to solvent tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dioctylphenylphosphonate (DOPP) is added as plasticizer by proportion chitosan:PVC:DOPP (6:3:1). To obtain the dopant optimum concentration, membrane was dipped in Cd2+ for 7 days and its conductivity value was measured using the four-point probe method. From FT-IR spectrum the peaks of amine, acetylamide and hydroxy groups wavelength number was observed to assure that Cd2+ bound to the chitosan. The optimum concentration of Cd2+ dopant was obtained at 1.00 M with conductivity value of 549.45 ohm-1m-1 wich gave a Nernstian factor of 32.03 mV/decade with the detection limit of 2.512 x 10-5 M. The electrodes work in the pH range 3 - 7. The life time of the electrode was 8 weeks. The ions of Ni2+, Fe3+, Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cl- and SO42- toward concentration range 10-3 M gave response did not interfere in the determine of Cd2+ ion.
