The Nano-structure materials were used as a modifier
and for pollutants removal. The work aimed to synthesis,
characterize and applying a Nano-materials in modification
of carbon paste electrode and removal of pollutants
Carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) which consists of
a mixture carbon (graphite) with organic liquid, was
used as a working electrode for selective and sensitive
determination of some pharmaceuticals and pollutants.
To enhance the sensitivity, the carbon paste electrode
was modified using different additives such as fatty acids,
nanostructure materials and others were added to the
paste. This specific area of applied analytical chemistry
offers extraordinary wide employment of CPEs and
MCPEs using nanomaterials to determine drugs, pollutants
and anions. On using Volta metric procedures, different
compounds accumulated and adsorbed on the electrode
surface and reduced or oxidized giving a peak current
corresponds the concentration of investigated analytic.
The methods were applied to determine pharmaceuticals
and pollutants indifferent media, a detection limit of about
1 x 10 -10M was achieved in some cases.The prepared
Nano materials were added to media containing some
pollutants and good results were obtained in which up to
80 % of some pollutant was removed.
