We propose here a novel voltammetric method for the determination of platinum at trace levels. The method is based on the interference that platinum generates on the anodic stripping signal of tin acidic solutions: in appropriate conditions platinum uses the intermediate formation of tin(II) ions, taking place during the tin cathodic reduction, to reduce itself and to form mixed Pt(II) - Sn(II) chloro-complexes. From the analysis of the anodic stripping plots obtained after subsequent additions of tin in a Pt-containing solution, it is possible to quantify accurately and precisely the Pt concentration from 3 ppb to more than 10 ppm. This novel method is validated for the analysis of Pt in heterogeneous catalysts, but in principle could be extended to other matrixes.

Abstract
We propose here a novel voltammetric method for the determination of platinum at trace levels. The method is based on the interference that platinum generates on the anodic stripping signal of tin acidic solutions: in appropriate conditions platinum uses the intermediate formation of tin(II) ions, taking place during the tin cathodic reduction, to reduce itself and to form mixed Pt(II) - Sn(II) chloro-complexes. From the analysis of the anodic stripping plots obtained after subsequent additions of tin in a Pt-containing solution, it is possible to quantify accurately and precisely the Pt concentration from 3 ppb to more than 10 ppm. This novel method is validated for the analysis of Pt in heterogeneous catalysts, but in principle could be extended to other matrixes.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
