Differential pulse polarography, lead

Differential pulse polarography is used to determine the concentrations of lead, thallium, and indium in a mixture. ... 

In just the same way as differential pulse polarography represents a vast improvement over conventional polarography (see Section 16.10), the application of a pulsed procedure leads to the greatly improved technique of differential pulsed anodic (cathodic) stripping volammetry. A particular feature of this... 

The ability of differential pulse polarography to resolve multicomponent systems and evaluate concentrations with excellent sensitivity has made this technique an attractive candidate for simultaneous measurement of CO, O, and some inhalation anesthetics Though very preliminary, the results appear promising and will likely lead to more intensive investigation of the approach. 

Day 2 for lead, cadmium, copper, cobalt, and nickel by Chelex extraction and differential pulse polarography, as well as manganese by Chelex and flameless atomic absorptiometry. 

Mercury was determined after suitable digestion by the cold vapour atomic absorption method [40]. Lead was determined after digestion by a stable isotope dilution technique [41-43]. Copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and cobalt were determined by differential pulse polarography following concentration by Chelex 100 ion-exchange resin [44,45], and also by the Freon TF extraction technique [46]. Manganese was determined by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry (FAA). 

The following analytical techniques seem to be adequate for the concentrations under consideration copper and nickel by Freon extraction and FAA cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry, cobalt by Chelex extraction and differential pulse polarography, mercury by cold vapour atomic absorption absorptiometry, lead by isotope dilution plus clean room manipulation and mass spectrometry. These techniques may be used to detect changes in the above elements for storage tests Cu at 8 nmol/kg, Ni at 5 nmol/kg, Co at 0.5 nmol/kg, Hg at 0.1 nmol/kg, and Pb at 0.7 nmol/kg. 

The polymers can be oxidized by differential pulse polarography. Their oxidation is metal-centered and leads to Ru(III) compounds. The potential is located aroimd -1-1.26 V (SCE). It can be stated that the polymers which contain the triphenylamine structure imits in the main chain show, as expected, an additional peak caused by the amine nitrogen. Substitution at the triphenylamine by electron-donating substituents lowers these potentials to 1.05 V (25), whereas acceptor substituents cause an increase of the oxidation potential (23). 

Field measurement of bulk soil lead by XRF instruments will typically require confirmation analysis through some randomly selected subset of further testing by some reference technique in the laboratory A AS, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), or ICP-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Other methods are electrochemical in nature, such as ASV and differential pulse polarography. Many soil samples are processed and analyzed directly in the laboratory. 

Brugmann [784] discussed different approaches to trace metal speciation (bioassays, computer modelling, analytical methods). The electrochemical techniques include conventional polarography, ASV, and potentiometry. ASV diagnosis of seawater was useful for investigating the properties of metal complexes in seawater. Differences in the lead and copper values yielded for Baltic seawater by methods based on differential pulse ASV or AAS are discussed with respect to speciation. 

The Dimensionless Parameter is a mathematical method to solve linear differential equations. It has been used in Electrochemistry in the resolution of Fick s second law differential equation. This method is based on the use of functional series in dimensionless variables—which are related both to the form of the differential equation and to its boundary conditions—to transform a partial differential equation into a series of total differential equations in terms of only one independent dimensionless variable. This method was extensively used by Koutecky and later by other authors [1-9], and has proven to be the most powerful to obtain explicit analytical solutions. In this appendix, this method will be applied to the study of a charge transfer reaction at spherical electrodes when the diffusion coefficients of both species are not equal. In this situation, the use of this procedure will lead us to a series of homogeneous total differential equations depending on the variable, v given in Eq. (A.l). In other more complex cases, this method leads to nonhomogeneous total differential equations (for example, the case of a reversible process in Normal Pulse Polarography at the DME or the solutions of several electrochemical processes in double pulse techniques). In these last situations, explicit analytical solutions have also been obtained, although they will not be treated here for the sake of simplicity.
