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

Titration of sulphates with lead perchlorate employing lead ion selective electrode indication was studied using additions of various organic solvents at different pH' and ionic strength values. As the optimum emerged systems with 60-70% 1,4-dioxane, pH' 5.3-5.6. After dehydration with sodium hydroxide, dioxane must be freed from the electrode surface-oxidizing impurities by their reduction with sodium metal and subsequent distillation. The method was applied to determination of sulphates in mountain spring waters. Units of ppm can be determined; the limit of determination, however, depends considerably on the content of dioxane, total salt content in the sample, and speed of the semi-automatic titration. Lead can be determined with EDTA in concentrations down to c(Pb2+) = 5 . 10-6 mol l-1.

Abstract A method for determining low levels of iodide in feeds and plants is proposed. The samples are mixed with a 10% phosphate solution to maintain relatively constant ionic strength and pH and analyzed with a solid-state iodide electrode. Ashing is not required and there are no significant interferences by ions commonly found in feeds. The method is accurate in determining iodide content ranging from 10.0 ppm to high concentrations. Necessary conditions for storing and cleaning the electrodes are described. The proposed method is rapid and results compare favorably with AOAC method 7.091.

Environmental context. The toxicity of metals in the environment is controlled by several parameters including total metal concentration, pH and organic and inorganic ligands (type and concentration). The characterisation of different metal pools in natural matrices (e.g. seawater, soil) is important for the evaluation of their toxic impact. The copper ion-selective electrode (Cu-ISE) is a method of choice for the analytical determination of the speciation (i.e. chemical forms) of divalent copper in natural matrices. This paper clarifies several operational parameters in the hope of decreasing variability of results and increasing the application domain of the Cu-ISE. Abstract. The determination of free copper concentrations in natural matrices is critical for the evaluation of copper toxicity. The ISE is one of the few analytical means for determining the direct speciation of free metal species. We have refined the method for low salinity and low ionic strength solutions for application with soil water extracts or fresh waters. Moreover, we have detailed and standardised a method for using a Cu-ISE with an autotitrator. The standardisation shows a good response and allows significant time saving (under 2 h for the calibration). The results obtained using the ISE are compared with those predicted in the presence of different organic ligands or even the lower free Cu2+ activities resulting from the formation of Cu hydroxyl species. The method was validated for the determination of Cu speciation at environmentally relevant free Cu2+ activity, i.e. ranging between 10−14 to 10−4 M. The chemical equilibrium calculations were made using the MINEQL+ software and the results agree well for pH values between 3 and 10. In terms of precision, the standard deviations of the measured values never exceed 0.1 units, and in terms of accuracy, the measured values were very close to the nominal values, within a range of 0.1. Outside the optimal pH range, the electrode yields higher activity than expected.

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.
