Abstract

In this paper, the amount of phenol in Meram, Karatay and Selcuklu regions in Konya tap water samples was quantified in aqueous medium by using 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The electrode surface was modified with DAB in 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBATFB) using 100 mV s(-1) scanning rate between -0.5 V and + 1.5 V with 10 cycles. For the calibration curve, a series of standard phenol solution between 1.0 x 10(-12) M and 1.0 x 10(-3) M was prepared using pH 12. The prepared standard solutions were used for the chemical binding of phenol to the modified electrode surface between 0.0 V and + 1.1 V potential range using 100 mV s(-1) scanning rate with 10 cycles. By using this calibration method, the amount of phenol was determined as 1.23 x 10(-10) M, 3.03 x 10(-8) M and 1.99 x 10(-9) M in natural tap water samples in Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer solution at pH 12. Detection limit was obtained as low as 1.0 x 10(-10) M. The presence of DAB, phenol at the GC surface and phenol of DAB modified GC electrode surface was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
