A new method for differential pulse voltammetric determination of the priority pollutant 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid) on a bismuth bulk electrode using evaluation of the signal based on polynomial baseline fitting and subtraction is reported. Linear calibration curves were obtained in an acetate buffer (pH 4.0) solution from 2 × 10 −6 to 1 × 10 −4 mol L −1 of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, with limits of detection and quantification of 2.0 × 10 −7 mol L −1 and 6.7 × 10 −7 mol L −1 , respectively. The newly developed method was tested on real sample matrices of drinking and river water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
