Abstract
Mercury (II) ion-selective PVC membrane sensor based on ethyl-2-benzoyl-2-phenylcarbamoyl acetate (EBPCA) as a novel nitrogen containing sensing material is successfully developed. The sensor exhibits good linear response of 30 mV per decade within the concentration range 10(-6)-10(-3) mol l(-1) Hg(II). The sensor shows good selectivity for mercury (II) ion in comparison with alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. The EBPCA-based sensor is suitable for use with aqueous solutions of pH 2.0-4.5 and exhibits minimal interference by Ag(I) and Fe(III), which are known to interfere with other previously suggested sensors. The nature and composition of the sensing material and its mercury complex are examined using Fourier-transform infrared analysis, elemental analysis and X-ray fluorescence techniques. The proposed sensor is applied as a sensor for the determination of Hg(II) content in some amalgam alloys. The results show good correlation with data obtained by atomic absorption spectrometric method.
