Eletrodo de carbono vítreo aplicado na determinação de fungicida oxicloreto de cobre utilizado por agricultores da Vila do Engenho - AM

Abstract

This work presents the study of electrochemical redox process fungicide copper oxychloride used in crops of Mill Village in Itacoatiara - AM. The study seeks to quantify this fungicide in standard formulation and commercial using cyclic voltammetry technique on the electrode surface of the glassy carbon electrode in Britton-Robinson buffer as supporting electrolyte. The analyzes were performed by varying the pH of the electrolyte between 2 and 12; windows studying potential between -1,0 and -0,6 V to +1.0 V to +0,8 V; Scan speed in between 5-500 mV / s and checking the limits of detection and quantification. The methodology was applied to samples of fruits and vegetables grown with the use of this pesticide. The results showed technical feasibility copper oxychloride study and good repeatability. The samples were not found traces of this fungicide suggesting that his presence was possible at concentrations below the limit of detection technique.
