Abstract

The electrocatalytic oxidation of tartaric acid on a carbon paste electrode modified with cobalt (II)-phthalocyanine was demonstrated and applied to the development of a highly sensitive, simple, fast and inexpensive voltammetric sensor to determine tartaric acid. The electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode was investigated by cyclic and square wave voltammetry, and the effect of experimental variables, such as dispersion and loading of cobalt (II)-phthalocyanine, together with optimum conditions for sensing the analyte by square wave voltammetry were assessed. In addition, the absence of a significant memory effect combined with the ease of electrode preparation led to the development of a sensitive and direct method to determine tartaric acid in wines. Interferences from other low molecular weight organic acids commonly present in wines were circumvented by using a multiway calibration technique, successfully obtaining the second order advantage by modeling voltammetric data with unfolded partial least square with residual bilinearization (U-PLS/RBL). A linear response range between 10 and 100??mol?L (r?=?0.9991), a relative prediction error of 4.55% and a recovery range from 96.41 to 102.43% were obtained. The proposed method is non-laborious, since it does not use sample pretreatment such as filtration, extraction, pre-concentration or cleanup procedures.

Cobalt

See more Cobalt products. Cobalt (atomic symbol: Co, atomic number: 27) is a Block D, Group 9, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 58.933195. Cobalt Bohr ModelThe number of electrons in each of cobalt's shells is 2, 8, 15, 2 and its electron configuration is [Ar]3d7 4s2. The cobalt atom has a radius of 125 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 192 pm. Cobalt was first discovered by George Brandt in 1732. In its elemental form, cobalt has a lustrous gray appearance. Cobalt is found in cobaltite, erythrite, glaucodot and skutterudite ores. Elemental CobaltCobalt produces brilliant blue pigments which have been used since ancient times to color paint and glass. Cobalt is a ferromagnetic metal and is used primarily in the production of magnetic and high-strength superalloys. Co-60, a commercially important radioisotope, is useful as a radioactive tracer and gamma ray source. The origin of the word Cobalt comes from the German word "Kobalt" or "Kobold," which translates as "goblin," "elf" or "evil spirit.
