An electroanalytical method, based on derivative chronopotentiometry of the complex of beryllium(II) with 4-((4-diethylamino-2-hydroxypheny)-azo)-5-hydroxy-naphthalene-2,7-disurphonic acid (Beryllon II) accumulated adsorptively on the surface of a hanging mercury drop electrode, has been developed for determining trace beryllium in food. The dependences of the peak height on the dt/dE vs. E curve on the preconcentration time, preconcentration potential and the constant reducing current are discussed. In 0.15 mol/l NH{sub 3} + 0.05 mol/l NH{sub 4}Cl, 4 {times} 10{sup {minus}7} mol/l Beryllon II, and at a preconcentration potential of {minus}0.30 V (vs. SCE), the limit of detection and linear range are 1 {times} 10{sup {minus}10} mol/l and 3 {times} 10{sup {minus}10}-2 {times} 10{sup {minus}7} mol/l, respectively. The relative standard error of the method is 2.3% for 6 {times} 10{sup {minus}8} mol/l Be(II). The method was applied to samples of food. The electrode process has been discussed.
