AbstractA carbon paste electrode modified with diphenylcarbazide has been prepared in order to improve the analytical determination of chromium(VI) and chromium(III) using voltammetric techniques. Several parameters, such as carbon/diphenylcarbazide ratio, carbon/Nujol ratio, scan rate, accumulation time, etc., have been explored. A voltammetric study of both chemical species and an explanation of the chemical and electrochemical mechanism are presented. When applied to assays of soil samples, the results compared favorably to those of a polarographic method.
