《An electrochemical sensor based on ECPPBCBGCE for determination of Uranium》.ppt

1 Good afternoon, Dear Mr Zhou and my little brothers and sister, It is a great honor for me to be here to do my presentation. Today I will introduce the work progress completed in December 2015 This work is mainly about fabricating an electrochemical sensor for determination of Uranium. So, I named this work as…. ECP is.. PBCB is…. 3 Uranium’s importance lie in that it is one of actinide elements used as a nuclear fuel in both the research and power reactor. But, as we all kown, uranium is both radiologically and chemically toxic and its salts can cause Kidney damage(损害肾脏) and acute arterial lesions（急性动脉损伤). Concentrations of uranium compounds in contaminated groundwater are typically at very low level, hence increasing the difficulty of accurate analysis. Based on our previous work, we know that electrochemical technique provide a fast, simple and highly sensitivity method for studying electrochemical behavior of substance , so we studied uranium electrochemical behavior at last semester, but unfortunately, we didn’t get the desire results. So, electrochemical studies on uranium in aqueous solutions are challenging as well as interesting because of their complexity and analytical importance. For example, In aqueous solution, uranium can exist in different oxidation states, from +3 to +6(charge of plus six), with being +6 is the most stable oxidation states especially in acid solution. Based on another work of electrochemical pretreatment, we adjust our experiment program and condition. In this work, we introducing the special process to obtain better performance. And the preparation step of modified electrode is show in scheme 1. g/mL: gram per millilitres The electrochemical behavior of U was investigated using the CV technique. Fig.1 illustrates the oxidation of U at different modified electrodes in 1 M H2SO4. Based on the oxygen-contain groups introduced by ECP and the excellent electrocatalytic property of the BCB, ECP/PBCB/GCE (curve d) showed the bes
