Abstract


А stripping voltammetry method was developed for the determination of cerium(III) on graphite electrode as a poorly soluble compound in filtrate after  sorption. The cerium(III) concentration presents a good linear relationship over the range of 0.5–10 mg/l. Its linear equation is I = (0.56 ± 0.03)с + (0.54 ± 0.10), with a correlation coefficient >0.99. The detection limit of cerium(III) is 0.1 mg/l. The absence of a significant systematic error is shown by the added-found method. Using the developed technique, the concentration of cerium(III) in the filtrates after sorption has been determined.
