hemain goal of this paper is the optimization of the square wave voltammetric response of antimony film electrode(SbFE) to determine reducible nitro groups using response surface methodology (RSM). The SbFEwas preparedon a glassy carbon electrode (GCE)while cathodic stripping squarewave voltammetry (CSSWV) was usedas detection technique. In this study, the optimization process of solution pH and 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC) accumulationtime was carried out using a Central Composite Design (CCD) while a Box?Behnken Design for SWVinstrumental variables optimization. The two reduction current peaks were used as dependent variable to evaluatethe performance of the system. For solution pH and DNOC accumulation time the optimization process consideredonly reduction current peak, while for SWV instrumental parameters (step, amplitude and frequency)both the relationship between current peak and standard deviation with the different factors were analysed, finallyboth designs were quantitatively
