A Review: Square Wave Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry Determination of Pesticide and Ultra-trace Inorganic Ions in Environmental Samples

Dereje Fedasa*, Alemu Talema and Shuma Fayera

Environmental pollution caused by pesticides and ultra-trace amounts of inorganic ions in the different environmental samples has become an issue of serious concern in the last years. Thus, the development of novel, simple, fast, sensitive, and cheap methods for the detection of pesticide residues and ultra-trace inorganic ions in the environmental sample is very significant task now days. The SWAdSV can be conjuncted with different modified electrode such as SWAdSV with modified Hanging mercury drop electrode, SWAdSV with multi-walled carbon nanotube paste electrode, SWAdSV with boron-doped diamond electrode, SWAdSV with flow-injection analysis detection and etc. SWAdSV can be used to perform an experiment much faster than normal and differential pulse techniques, which typically run at scan rates of 1 to 10 mV/sec. Square wave voltammetry employs scan rates up to 1 V/sec or faster, allowing much faster determinations. A typical experiment requiring three minutes by normal or differential pulse techniques can be performed in a matter of seconds by square wave voltammetry. The aim of the review was the use of square wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry in conjunction with different modified electrode for the determination of pesticide and ultra-trace inorganic ions in environmental samples.
