Abstract: A stripping voltammetric method based on microwave digestion was developed for determining cadmium in eel on a bismuth/nafion modified electrode. Oxidation yield a well-defined square wave peak for Cd2+ at about -0.85 V. Nafion concentration, bismuth film thickness, buffer solution pH, deposition potential accumulation time and other potential interference factors were investigated. A linear relationship was found between peak area and cadmium concentration over the range of 4.0 to 14.0μg/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.9964. The limit of detection of the method was 0.2μg/L. The sensor was highly sensitive and effective to detect cadmium even in the presence of several excess potential interference ions.

Key words: microwave digestion, stripping voltammetry, bismuth, nafion, cadmium
