Electro Analysis of Heavy Metals in Syringodium Isoetifolium

Abstract

To identify the frequency of functional groups in Syrigodium isoetifolium, FT-IR technique was performed. The main functional groups involved in the sample uptake are ester sulfates, tri substituted alkenes and halides. FT-IR spectra also exhibited the presence of metals such as Pb, Cu, Cd, Ni and Cr. The elemental composition in Syrigodium isoetifolium by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) is in the order Co > Pb > Ni > Cr > Fe. Glassy carbon electrode have been developed in this investigation for the analysis of heavy metals such as copper and arsenic in formulated sample of Syrigodium isoetifolium by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep anodic voltammetry (LSAV). The GC electrode suggested as a suitable matrix for rapid monitoring of these heavy metals at trace levels.
