We have developed an eletroanalytical method that employs Cu(2+) solutions to determine arsenic in sugarcane brandy using an electrode consisting of carbon paste modified with carbon nanotubes (CNTPE) and polymeric resins. We used linear sweep (LSV) and differential-pulse (DPV) voltammetry with cathodic stripping for CNTPE containing mineral oil or silicone as binder. The analytical curves were linear from 30 to 110μgL(-1) and from 10 to 110μgL(-1) for LSV and DPV, respectively. The limits of detection (L.O.D.) and quantification (L.O.Q.) of CNTPE were 10.3 and 34.5μgL(-1) for mineral oil and 3.4 and 11.2μgL(-1) for silicone. We applied this method to determine arsenic in five commercial sugarcane brandy samples. The results agreed well with those obtained by hydride generation combined with atomic absorption spectrometry (HG AAS).
Um método eletroanalítico foi desenvolvido para determinação simultânea de íons cobre e chumbo em cachaça empregando eletrodo de pasta de carbono modificado com ácido ascórbico e nanotubos de carbono (CPE-AaCNT). A técnica de voltametria de onda quadrada (SWV) com redissolução anódica foi empregada e otimizada com relação aos seguintes parâmetros: frequência (50 Hz), amplitude (100 mV) e incremento de varredura (9 mV). As curvas analíticas apresentaram intervalo linear de 0,09 a 7,00 mg L -1 para o chumbo e para o cobre. Os limites de detecção foram de 48,5 e 23,9 µg L -1 para o chumbo e o cobre, respectivamente. O método desenvolvido foi aplicado na determinação simultânea de chumbo e cobre em cinco amostras comerciais de cachaça. Os resultados apresentaram-se concordantes com os obtidos por F AAS/GF AAS (espectrometria de absorção atômica com chama/espectrometria de absorção atômica com forno de grafite) e revelaram que CPE-AaCNT podem ser empregados com êxito na quantificação de cobre e chumbo em amostras comerciais de cachaça.The development of an electroanalytical method for simultaneous determination of copper and lead ions in sugar cane spirit (cachaça) using carbon paste electrode modified with ascorbic acid and carbon nanotubes (CPE-AaCNT) is described. Squarewave voltammetry (SWV) with anodic stripping was employed, and this technique was optimized with respect to the following parameters: frequency (50 Hz), amplitude (100 mV) and scan increment (9 mV). The analytical curves were linear in the range from 0.0900 to 7.00 mg L -1 for lead and copper. The limits of detection were 48.5 and 23.9 µg L -1 for lead and copper, respectively. The developed method was applied to the simultaneous determination of copper and lead in five commercial samples of sugar cane spirit. The results were in good agreement with those obtained by F AAS/GF AAS (flame atomic absorption spectrometry/graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry) and showed that CPE-AaCNT can be successfully employed in the simultaneous determination of these metals in real sugar cane spirit samples.
