Abstract The present thesis describes the preparation of new ion-selective electrodes for the determination of for two important ions, Al(III) and Cd(II). The performance characteristics of the developed electrodes were studied. These characteristics including the effect of soaking, working temperature range, response time, usable pH range, detection limit and effect of interfering ions for each of aluminum (III) and cadmium (II) ions. For aluminum determination, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), modified carbon paste (MCP), and coated graphite (CG) electrodes were developed based on aluminum dicloxacillin, Al(DX)₃, ion-associate. Cadmium was determined by using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and modified carbon paste (MCP) electrodes based on cadmium sulfaquinoxalline Cd(SQ)₂ ion-associate. Aluminum and cadmium ions were determined in pure solutions and in different real samples where the determinations were performed by applying the standard addition method and potentiometric titration. The results obtained from the application of the electrodes were compared to those obtained from AAS method |
