Abstract
Organic peroxides, t-butyl hydroperoxide, 2-butanone peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide and t-butyl peracetate, were determined by an amperometric enzyme electrode. The enzyme electrode was prepared through electrostatic immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in a polyvinylferrocenium (PVF) film. A PVF+ClO4- film was coated on a Pt foil at +0.70 V by electrooxidation of polyvinyl ferrocene in methylene chloride with 0.1 M tetrabutyl ammonium perchlorate (TBAP). The enzyme modified electrode PVF+HRP- was prepared by anion-exchange in a solution of HRP- in 0.05 M phosphate buffer at pH 8.5. FTIR spectroscopy was used to identify PVF, PVF+ ClO4, and PVF+ HRP-. The immobilized amount of the enzyme in the film was determined by UV spectroscopy. The effects of the polymeric film thickness, bulk enzyme concentration used in the immobilization treatment and the temperature on the performance of enzyme electrode were investigated. The inhibitory effect of oxygen was also examined. Linearities, lower detection limits, active life times and sensitivities of the electrode were determined for each peroxide.
