The electrochemical reduction behaviour of Permethrin has been carried out, by employing d.c. polarography, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse polarography (DPP) in the supporting electrolytes of the pH ranging from 2.0 to 12.0. The nature of electrode process was studied, the number of electrons was evaluated and the reduction mechanism was proposed. Kinetic parameters such as tran...

The polarographic wave observed for acetonitrile solutions of benzoic acid is due to reduction of the acid proton: the apparent diffusion current constant for the wave increases with concentration of benzoic acid as expected for the reduction of the acidic proton of a slightly dissociated acid. No wave was observed for ethyl benzoate. The situation in respect to the electrochemical reduction of...

A short-time asymptotic analysis is performed to establish corrections of the Ilkovich equation, which describes polarographic response a dropping mercury electrode. The convective diffusion equation governing limited reactant flux for small drop times solved by regular perturbation based on powers sixth root time. This produces framework within higher terms can be derived systematically. As we...
