Potentiometric Cross-Sensitive Sensors Based on Perfluorinated Membranes Treated at Different Relative Humidity for Codetermination of Cations and Anions in Alkaline Solutions of Amino Acids

Resumo

The results of studying characteristics of potentiometric DP-sensors (sensors with the Donnan potential as their analytical signal) are presented for alkaline solutions of a sulfur-containing amino acid with perfluorosulfonic cation exchange membranes subjected to thermal treatment and mechanical deformation at different relative humidity. Correlation between the distribution of sensitivity of DP-sensors towards cations and anions and diffusion permeability of membranes was found. A multisensor system including two DP-sensors based on membranes with optimized properties and a glass electrode for codetermination of potassium cations and amino acid anions and zwitterions in solutions at pH >7 are developed.
