Abstract
Aiming at the on-site and quick safety evaluation of the dissolved trace copper ions (Cu2+) in drinking water source, an electrochemical detection platform was developed on the basis of the square wave anodic stripping voltammetry using the gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) modified glassy carbon electrode, where Au NPs were deposited via electrochemical cyclic voltammetry. The proposed method displayed the limit of detection as low as 1.3 μg·L-1 in the linear range of 2 ~ 50 μg·L-1. The proposed method was applied to the determination of Cu2+ in the midstream of Minjiang River, one of the most important drinking water sources in Fujian province, China. The results were nearly identical to that obtained by the standard method quantitatively with a deviation less than 20%. Furthermore, the proposed electrochemical method is simple, economical and fast, and has the potential for the field determination of trace dissolved Cu2+ in various drinking water sources facilitated with the portable potentiostat.
