Abstract: The electrocatalytic oxidation and electrochemical kinetics of bisphenol A(BPA) were investigated at sodium dodecyl sulphate(SDS) self-assembled monolayer and N-butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate([bupy]PF6) modified carbon paste electrode(CPE). The experimental results indicated that BPA electrochemical behavior exhibited an irreversible electrochemical oxidation process at SDS-[bupy]PF6/CPE. The electrochemical kinetic parameters were determined by cyclic voltammetry(CV), chronoamperometry(CA). The oxidation peak current of BPA had a good linear relationship with the concentration of BPA in the range of 1.0×10-5~1.0×10-3 mol/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.9981, and a detection limit of 3.01×10-7 mol/L(S/N=3) was obtained by square wave voltammetry(SWV). The method was applied to determine quantitative BPA content in lake water samples with satisfactory results.

Key words: bisphenol A, sodium dodecyl sulphate, N-Butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate, carbon paste electrode, electrocatalytic oxidation
