Abstract
In
the present work, the capabilities of the anodic stripping voltammetry
(ASV) and the UV-vis spectrophotometry for the determination of the
silver nanoparticles immobilized on the cellulosic fibers were evaluated
and compared to those of Ag+ determination using inductively coupled
plasma atomic emission spectrometry. The absorption spectra of dithizone
(diphenylthiocarbazone) in carbon tetra chloride before and after
addition of the Ag+ were recorded. Absorption at 612 nm reduces as the
amount of the silver ion added to the dithizone solution increases. Calibration plot was established under the optimized conditions. A liner correlation was found between the concentration
of the Ag+ and the absorbance at 612 nm for the range of 1-19 mg L-1, with a regression equation of ∆A= 0.0591 C +
.0701 and correlation coefficient of 0.9981.
Determination
of the Ag+ was also carried out by ASV method on the glassy carbon
working electrode. A preconcentration potential of -500 mV was applied
during 60 s followed by a rest period of 10 s. Stripping of the silver
ion
by re-oxidation process can be observed at the potential range of -200 - 70 mV. A linear relation was found between the
concentration
of the Ag+ and the peak current in the range of 1-16 mg L-1. The
regression equation Ip = 2.484C + 0.034 and correlation coefficient of
0.9989 were resulted. Also, the Ag content of the cotton samples was
determined by ICPOES technique and compared with those of obtained by
two above mentioned methods. This study indicated that there is a good
agreement between the results obtained by these three methods.
