Summary The interferences caused by inorganic ions, organic anions and Triton X-100 in the determination of lead by flow injection potentiometric and voltammetric stripping analysis at a mercury film electrode were investigated. The experiments were performed in the concentration range of 1–10 mg/l Pb2+. For both methods linear calibration plots were obtained in the presence of an excess of nitrate, chloride, perchlorate and sulphate. Iodide strongly interferes due to mercury complexation. Metal ion interference caused by formation of irreversible amalgams (as in the case of codeposition of Ni, Co, Fe and Cr) is avoided by proper choice of deposition potential. No effect of water soluble reduced species, i.e. Fe(II) and Cr(II), on the stripping signals was observed. The presence of acetate, citrate and tartrate does not limit the determination of lead by potentiometric stripping analysis (PSA) but has a marked effect on anodic stripping voltammetric (ASV) signals. No influence of Triton X-100 on the determination of lead by PSA was found. In ASV 10−3% Triton X-100 diminished the peak current by 15%.
