Voltammetric determination of potassium hydrogenperoxomonosulfate in pure substance and disinfectant "Ecocide S"
Abstract
The behavior of potassium hydrogenperoxomonosulfate (KHSO5) has been studied using alternating current voltammetry with square wave modulation in potential range +1.0…–1.2 V at carbositall electrode as indicating and auxiliary electrode (reference electrode Ag, AgCl/Kál(sat)) (Ep = +0.25 V). A linear relationship between peak current and concentration was obtained in the range 0.9´10–5 mol L–1 to 5.4´10–5 mol L–1 of the KHSO5 concentrations at pH ~ 0.8 for pure substance. It is Ip = (8.3 ± 0.6)´103´Ãƒâ€˜Ã‚ (r = 0.999). RSD were 2.68 %, 2.55 % and 2.39 % for the 3.6´10–5, 4.5´10–5 and 5.4´10–5 mol L–1concentrations of KHSO5 model solutions, respectively (δ = –0.28…+0.44 %). The addition method was used for KHSO5 determination in disinfectant "Ecocid S", RSD were 2.01 % and 1.88 % for ÑÂÂ(KHSO5) = 4.65´10–5 and 7.75´10–5 mol L–1, respectively. The obtained results have good agreement with those obtained by using the reference method of iodometric titration, with an accuracy lower than – 0.42 %.
