2. Applications of polarographic techniques in analysis
Polarographic techniques are mainly based on the plotting of current-potential curves, known as polarograms. Before describing the different techniques, their uses and applications, it is necessary to present the general principle of polarogram plotting common to all techniques, and the equipment required for their implementation.
2.1 General principle of polarogram plotting and equipment
Polarographic techniques are implemented by controlling the potential of the mercury-indicating electrode (DME, HMDE or TFME) where the oxidation or reduction reactions to be produced on an analyte in solution (inorganic or organic species present as a cation, anion or molecule) are to take place. They are generally based on the use of a three-electrode set-up immersed in the...
