Abstract

In this work plan, the development of a printed reusable electrodes base of the bismuth film applied for in situ determination of phenolic, organochlorine and / or organophosphates compounds in natural water and wastewater by voltammetric techniques is proposed. The electrodes to be used will be reusable, because most of the materials used in its construction can be reused, and thus, it is not necessary to dispose them in the environment. Moreover, bismuth film electrodes are known in the literature as environmental friendly because they are not toxic and it presents negligible polluting activities, however, there are few reports in the literature about the use of these electrodes for electrochemical determination of organic compounds. Thus, we believed that this plane can possible the execution of an simple, rapid and low-cost analytical method to the voltammetric in situ determination of powerfully polluting organic compounds in several water samples.
