Abstract

Cathodic stripping experiments of thioacetamide in alkaline solutions, pH = 13, were performed using a rotating silver disk electrode and a silver microelectrode. Applicability of these two electrode systems for the determination of thioacetamide over a wide range of concentrations has been found using the stripping peak of bulk silver sulfide. A further improvement in the detection limit is suggested when only an underpotential deposition layer of silver sulfide is formed during deposition. Then cathodic stripping analysis of thioacetamide below 10−8. M is feasible. The mechanism for the reactions during the deposition and cathodic stripping of thioacetamide in alkaline media at silver electrode has been elucidated.
