The electrochemical behavior of thallium was studied on glassy carbon electrodes in sulfate solutions. Cyclic voltammetry was used to study the kinetics of the electrode processes and to determine the nature of the limiting step of the cathodic reduction of thallium ions. According to the dependence of current on stirring rate and scan rate, this process is diffusion limited. Chronocoulometry s...

The development of a dedicated automated sequential-injection analysis apparatus for anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) and adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) is reported. The instrument comprised a peristaltic pump, a multiposition selector valve and a home-made potentiostat and used a mercury-film electrode as the working electrodes in a thin-layer electrochemical detector. Programming o...

The advent of stripping voltammetry has improved the performance of analytical voltammetry to a considerable extent.1 The enhanced sensitivity and lower detection limits can be achieved in this technique by enrichment of the analyte prior to voltammetric determination. The common enrichment processes include reduction of metal ions through formation of metal films or amalgams, reductive or oxid...

The theory of cyclic voltammetry is presented for chemical reactions coupled with electron transfer reactions. A numerical method is described for solving integral equations derived from the appropriate boundary value problems. New correlations make it possible to characterize unknown systems by studying the variation of peak current, half-peak potential, or ratio of anodic to cathodic peak cur...

Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) at a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) was used for the determination of trace amounts of carcinogenic nitrobiphenyls, namely 2-nitrobiphenyl (2-NBP), 3nitrobiphenyl (3-NBP) and 4-nitrobiphenyl (4-NBP) within the concentration range from 2.10 to 1.10 mol⋅L for DPV and from 2.10 to 1.10 mol⋅L for AdSV using a Br...
