A novel carbon paste Zinc (II) ion-chemically modified carbon paste sensors highly selective and sensitive (CMCPE) based on the metal complexes Zn- incorporating thiosemicarbazide, [Zn(TS)2(ac)2]. C2H5OH (Zn-TSC) and Zn-acetaldehyde thiosemicarbazone [Zn(ATS)2]. 4H2O (Zn-ATSC) dissolved in tricresyl phthalate (TCP) as binder liquid. The chemically modified sensors were developed for determination of Zinc (II) in vitamin and waste water. The constructed sensors showed good linear response of Nernstian slopes 32.5 ± 0.5 and 28.5 ± 0.5 mV per decade over the concentration range of 5.0×10-8-2.0×10-3 and 6.3×10-8 - 7.9×10-3 M with a detection limit of 0.25 and 0.50 nM for (Zn-TSC) and (Zn-ATSC) ions respectively. The selectivity coefficients of the pro.. Read More»
