In the present work, a novel electrochemical sensor was developed for the detection of trace cadmium with high sensitivity and selectivity in an easy and eco-friendly way. Firstly, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with nontoxic sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) by a simple drop-casting method, which was applied to detect cadmium by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) in a solution containing both target cadmium and eco-friendly bismuth ions, based on a quick electro-codeposition of these two metal ions on the surface of the modified electrode (CMC-GCE). Investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), both CMC (with good film-forming ability) and bismuth (with well-defined stripping signal) were found to be well complexed with target cadmium, leading to vital signal amplification for cadmium detection at a sub-nanomolar level. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed sensor exhibited a good linear stripping signal response to cadmium (Ⅱ) ion, in a concentration range of 0.001 μmol/L–1 μmol/L with a limit of detection of 0.75 nmol/L (S/N = 3). Meanwhile, the results demonstrate that this novel electrochemical sensor has excellent sensitivity and reproducibility, which can be used as a promising detection technique for testing natural samples such as tap water.

Cadmium is a toxic pollutant that is harmful to the environment and humans. The purpose of this research was to develop a method for cadmium(II) detection using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) using a glassy carbon electrode. The developed method was then applied for cadmium detection in the vegetable samples which is water spinach. The developed method was optimized in several parameters such as potential window, deposition potential, deposition time, and scan rate. The developed method for cadmium(II) detection was also investigated in its analytical performance includes linearity, precision, detection limit, and quantitation limit. The optimum conditions for cadmium(II) detection in 0.1 M KCl using DPASV technique obtained such as potential window from -1200 to -100 mV, deposition potential of -1100 mV (vs Ag/AgCl), and deposition time of 360 s. It was obtained good linearity for cadmium(II) detection using the DPASV technique with an R2 of 0.996. The precision was expressed as %SBR with 0.66%. The detection and quantitation limits for cadmium(II) detection were 0.4206 µM~0.0771 ppm and 0.5525 µM~0.1013 ppm, respectively. The developed method was then applied for cadmium(II) measurement in the water spinach sample and the obtained cadmium(II) concentration in water spinach was 0.2399 mg/Kg.

The effects of salinity on the release of copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in tailing sediment have been studied by stripping voltammetry. The purpose of the research is to know the effect of salinity on the release of metals with certain pH, conductivity and variety of metals. Simultaneous determination of copper, lead and zinc in tailing was done by Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DPASV) onto hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) and nitric acid 65% as support electrolyte. The limit of detection for this method 0.60 µg/L, 0.150 µg/L and 0.238 µg/L for copper, lead and iMc respectively. The stripping solution of 300/00 salinity with pH= 7.85, conductivity= 46.62 mS/cm gives the amounts of released metals as follows :14.867 µg/L Cu, 0.976 µg/L Pb and 6.224 µg/L Zn. These results are higher as compared with the results from 15 0/00 salinity with pH= 7.66, conductivity= 23.22 mS/cm that give released metals of Cu= 7.988 µg/L, Pb= 0.311 µg/L and Zn= 4.699 µg/L. the results from ANOVA suggest that this is due to different in salinity of the solution. It also found that the conductivity does not give any effect. It can be concluded that the higher salinity will that give higher concentration or released metals.
