Determination of calcium in water samples by using Au-electrode in HCl solution in the absence and presence of a crystal violet and environmental studies

Abstract

The hydrochloric acid (HCl 0.1 M) supporting electrolyte was used in the electrochemical estimation cyclic voltammetry for CaCl2 concentrations also using crystal violet dye or (hexamethyl pararosaniline) as ligand. For oxidation and reduction waves, the potential range is 0.5 V, -0.5 V. The interaction of calcium ions with crystal violet was examined using several analytical estimates, and kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. The analytical concentration for calcium ions in different samples especially in Nile River were estimated in the range from 1.6 to 14.3 mmol. The estimation of calcium ion concentrations was achieved up to 11.49 mmol in waste water in Mansoura University. Applications were made for calcium estimation of different water samples and molecular docking of the calcium-crystal violet complex against the Hepatitis C viral proteins (4i33, 4KTC), roving strong bonds of interaction were observed. And anti-bacterial effect on calcium complex with crystal violet and face mask N-95 tissue.
