Voltammetric determination of 3-aminofluoranthene at different types of carbon electrodes

Voltammetric behavior of 3-aminofluoranthene in 50% (v/v) methanol-water solutions has been investigated applying differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and a carbon-paste electrode (CPE). Optimum conditions for determination of 3-aminofluorathnene in the concentration range 2 x 10(-8) divided by 1 x 10(-4) mol L-1 have been established. Lower limits of quantitation were found for AdSV at GCE as 4 x 10(-7) mol L-1 and for AdSV at CPE as 2 x 10(-8) mol L-1.
