Mg(II) Selective PVC Membrane Electrode Based on Methyl Phenyl Semicarbazone as an Ionophore
A PVC-membrane-based Mg(II) selective electrode was constructed using methyl phenyl semicarbazone (MPS) as a neutral carrier. The sensor exhibits a Nernstian response for Mg(II) ion over a wide concentration range 1.0×10-8 to 1.0×10-1 M with the slope of 28.4 mV/per decade having detection limit 1...

| Summary: | A PVC-membrane-based Mg(II) selective electrode was constructed using methyl phenyl semicarbazone (MPS) as a neutral carrier. The sensor exhibits a Nernstian response for Mg(II) ion over a wide concentration range 1.0×10-8 to 1.0×10-1 M with the slope of 28.4 mV/per decade having detection limit 1.7×10-9 M. It was relatively a fast response time (<10 s for concentration ≥1.0×10-3 and <15 s for concentration of ≥1.0×10-6 M) and can be used for 8 months without any considerable divergence in potentials. The proposed sensor revealed relatively good selectivity and high sensitivity for Mg(II) over a mono-, di-, and trivalent cation and can be used in a pH range of 1.0–9.5. It was also successfully used as an indicator electrode in potentiometer titration and in the analysis of concentration of magnesium in various real samples. |
