Avaliação da influência de sulfetos solúveis na complexação do cobre em águas superficiais empregando métodos voltamétricos Influence of dissolved sulfides on copper complexation in surface waters using voltammetric methods

Abstract

In this work a sulfide quantification protocol using voltammetric methods was developed to evaluate the effect of dissolved sulfides on copper complexation. On the basis of pH, sulfide release from the dissociation of specific metal sulfide complexes can be electrochemically measured and then removed (as H2S) by a N2 purge. Cathodic stripping square wave voltammetry (CSSWV) was conducted to quantify Cu sulfides complexes which dissociate at pH < 5.0 during the process of acid titration.
