Abstract

mercury ion-selective electrode seawater media
It is shown that a chalcogenide glass mercury(II) ion-selective electrode (ISE) can be calibrated in chloride-free unbuffered and saline buffered standards, displaying near-Nernstian response over 19 orders of magnitude (i.e. 10-20 to 10-1 M Hg2+). Extended ageing of the ISE in seawater induced a memory effect, causing the electrode to respond in a sub- Nernstian fashion. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) demonstrated that the response of the Hg(II) ISE is underpinned by a charge transfer process, and seawater matrix effects are due to electrode passivation. It is shown that standard addition ISE potentiometry may compensate for interferences caused by the seawater matrix.
