The results showed that under the optimum condition (pH ) in cyclic voltammetry, the oxidation of sulfite occurred at a potential about 280 mV less positive than the unmodified carbon paste electrode. ic parameters such as electron transfer coefficient ( α) and heterogeneous rate constant ( k ) for sulfite were also determined using electrochemical approaches. Under the optimized conditions, the electrocata- lytic oxidation peak current of sulfite showed two linear dynamic ranges with a detection limit of μM for sulfite. The proposed method was examined as a selective, simple, and precise method for voltammetric determination of sulfite in some real samples such as weak liquor from wood and paper industry, boiler water, river water, industrial water, and tap water.
