Detection of lead(II) and silver(I) in aqueous solution using a piezoelectric device
Abstract
The gold surface of a quartz crystal microbalance was modified by the attachment of silica particles derivatised with N-[(3-trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediaminetriacetic acid. The device was employed to study the kinetics of the interaction of aqueous solutions of lead(II) nitrate and silver(I) nitrate with the surface and for the selective separation of the metal ions.
