Influence of Multiwalled Carbon Paste Nanotubes on Response of ${\rm Pb}^{2+}$ Ion Selective Carbon Paste Electrode Based on 2-((6-(5-Bromo-2-Hydroxybenzylideneamino) Hexylimino) Methyl)-4-Bromophenol as Novel Neutral Carrier

A new lead selective carbon paste electrode by incorporation of 2-((6-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino) hexylimino) methyl)-4-bromophenol (BHBAHMBP) as new carrier in matrix of carbon paste has been reported. Influence of amount of carbon paste ingredints including sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB), BHBAHMBP, Nujol, graphite powder, amount of Multiwalled carbon nanotubes optimized and their value was set as carbon: (500/3.4/150/6.0/50 mg), respectively. At optimum values of variables these conditions the proposed electrode response toward Pb
