description

Ligand competition coupled with differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry has been investigated for the determination of copper, lead and cadmium. Ethylenediamine displaces humic acid in its metal complexes forming kinetically labile compounds. It also eliminates interferences associated with the oxidation of copper. This enhances the sensitivity of the determination of the metals over a wide range of humic acid concentration (up to 30 mg/l). The procedure has been applied to the determination of heavy metals in a real water sample.
