Abstract
Determination of 6-nitrobenzimidazole by differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode, a polished silver solid amalgam electrode and a mercury meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode was studied in the presence of the surfactants Triton X-100, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulfate. It was found that only cetyltrimethylammonium bromide at polished silver solid amalgam electrode increases the voltammetric signal. This fact was used for the determination of 6-nitrobenzimidazole in the concentration range from 1 × 10–7 to 1 × 10–4 mol l–1 by differential pulse voltammetry at polished silver solid amalgam electrode in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (concentration 1 × 10–4 mol l–1).
