Simultaneous identification of lead pigments and binding media in paint samples using voltammetry of microparticles

Voltammetry of microparticles is applied to the simultaneous determination of lead pigments and binding media in paint samples. The mechanical attachment of a few nanograms of sample to a paraffin-impregnated graphite electrode produced well-defined square wave voltammetric responses for model paint...

Description
Summary:Voltammetry of microparticles is applied to the simultaneous determination of lead pigments and binding media in paint samples. The mechanical attachment of a few nanograms of sample to a paraffin-impregnated graphite electrode produced well-defined square wave voltammetric responses for model paint specimens containing lead white, minium and Naples yellow associated with linseed, sunflower and poppy oils and casein, egg, and bovine gelatin. The use of a multiparametric fitting of the electrochemical data allows for the simultaneous identification of the lead pigment and binder in synthetic paint specimens.
