Description
Summary:The carbon paste electrode modified by kaolin (KCPE) has been utilized for the determination of pesticides with high sensitivity based on their redox behavior. The experiment is performed on the use of cyclic and square wave voltammetry. Experimental conditions were optimized by varying the accumulation time, kaolin loading and measuring solution pH. Square wave voltammetric response showed a linear calibration curve in the range from 3.9 × 10 − 9 to 9 × 10 − 5 mol L − 1 with a detection limit of 2 × 10 − 10 mol L − 1 at kaolin-modified carbon paste electrode. As a result, it was found that there was feasibility in the use of kaolin to improve the carbon paste electrode properties.
