Abstract

Pb2+ ions were detected on a carbon paste electrode modified with a geopolymer cement. The X-ray pattern and the infrared spectrum of the geopolymer synthesized from metakaolin and phosphoric acid showed a three-dimensional semi-crystalline structure. The obtained geopolymer cement indicates the formation of a broad hump structure between 17 and 40° (2θ) ascribed to the poly(phospho-siloxo) network. The electroanalysis of Pb2+ ions was done in three steps by stripping voltammetry: accumulation of Pb2+ ions in open circuit at pH 4, detection in NaNO3 medium, and desorption. The peak current of Pb2+ ions obtained after 5-min accumulation on the geopolymer cement–modified carbon paste electrode was found to be four times higher than that from the bare carbon paste electrode. After optimization of some parameters related to the detection process (geopolymer cement content in paste, accumulation time, pH of detection medium, detection medium, electrolysis time, potential electrode), a calibration line was drawn in the concentration range from 0.2 × 10−6 M to 1.4 × 10−6 M. The detection limit obtained from a signal-to-noise ratio equal to 3 is 2.3 × 10−9 M. The interferences of some heavy metal ions, such as Hg2+, Cd2+, and Cu2+, and some inorganic ions Al3+, Fe2+, Zn2+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl, SO42−, and NO3 on CPE/GP-Dib2 sensor were examined. The results obtained shows that these inorganic ions did not interfere with the determination of Pb2+ ions. It indicated that the prepared sensor possessed high selectivity for Pb2+.
