Abstract
Two different phosphine sulfide derivatives have been explored as electroactive materials to modify carbon paste electrodes for the accurate detection of uranyl(II) ions. The optimized electrodes based on triphenylphosphine sulfide (L1) and triisobutylphosphine sulfide (L2) responded linearly towards uranyl(II) ions within the range of 1.0 × 10-7 – 1.0 × 10-1 M. Good sensitivity (29.32 ± 0.53 and 27.99 ± 0.61 mV per decade) and detection capability up to 7.9 × 10-8 and 1.0 × 10-7 M uranyl(II) were observed for L1- and L2-based electrodes, respectively. The effect of solution temperature on uranyl(II) determination was studied within 10–60 °C. Selectivity studies showed that the electrodes are capable to discriminate uranyl(II) ions over a large number of possible co-existing inorganic interferents. Moreover, they exhibited speedy response, thermal and long-term stability, and significant reusability. Petroleum water samples spiked with uranyl(II) ions were analyzed utilizing the developed electrodes where good recovery and accuracy were achieved, demonstrating the real-life applicability of the developed electrodes.
期刊介绍:
Egyptian Journal of Petroleum is addressed to the fields of crude oil, natural gas, energy and related subjects. Its objective is to serve as a forum for research and development covering the following areas: • Sedimentation and petroleum exploration. • Production. • Analysis and testing. • Chemistry and technology of petroleum and natural gas. • Refining and processing. • Catalysis. • Applications and petrochemicals. It also publishes original research papers and reviews in areas relating to synthetic fuels and lubricants - pollution - corrosion - alternate sources of energy - gasification, liquefaction and geology of coal - tar sands and oil shale - biomass as a source of renewable energy. To meet with these requirements the Egyptian Journal of Petroleum welcomes manuscripts and review papers reporting on the state-of-the-art in the aforementioned topics. The Egyptian Journal of Petroleum is also willing to publish the proceedings of petroleum and energy related conferences in a single volume form.
