The task now at hand is to find solutions to these second-order differential equations under theboundary conditions defined by the electroanalytical method in question. Nowadays, this is most often accomplished by numerical integration, known in electroanalytical chemistry as digital simulation. It is beyond the scope of this chapter to go into the mathematical details, and the interested reader is referred to the specialist literature [33]. Commercial user-friendly software for linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry is available (DigiSim ) software for other methods has been developed and is available through the Internet. 

Convection has long been coupled with electrochemistry, and the name hydro-dynamic voltammetry has become standard. In electroanalytical chemistry we mainly seek reproducible conditions. These are almost always attained by systems in which a steady convective state is achieved, although not always. Thus, the once popular dropping mercury electrode (see texts such as [74,257]) has convection around it, but is never in steady state it might be called a reproducible periodic dynamic state. 

Last, but not least, is the field of electroanalytical chemistry, in which carbon electrodes can be found. This field includes voltammetry, - potentiometry, -+ coulometry, etc., for measuring the concentration and detecting the presence of specific chemical species.

Polarography is the term used for voltammetry with the dropping mercury electrode (DME). The technique has been discussed extensively in several textbooks and reviews [1-, 237-242] to which the reader is referred for details concerning both theoretical problems and practical applications. The electrode (Fig. 31) was developed early in the century by Heyrovsky and was the dominating tool in electroanalytical chemistry for several decades. Because of the low oxidation potential of mercury (0.3-0.4 V versus SCE), the DME has been used almost exclusively for the study of reduction processes. Compared with mercury film electrodes, the DME offers the advantage that the electrode surface is continuously renewed. This property reduces undesirable surface effects caused by adsorption.

Electrochemical methods of analysis have grown greatly in application and importance over the last 40 years, and this has been largely due to the development and improvement of electronic systems permitting refinements in the measurement of the critical characteristics mentioned in the foregoing. In addition to this, the measurement systems and the advanced electronics now permit much of the work in electroanalytical chemistry to be automated and controlled by microprocessors or computers. Some electroanalytical techniques have become very widely accepted others, such as polarography/voltammetry, less so. This has been due to early problems with equipment. Despite the fact... 

Terminology related to electroanalytical chemistry are chronoamperometry, voltammetry, coulometry, amperometric titrimetry, coulometric titrimetry, conductivity, con-ductimetry and high frequency titrimetry, electrometric titrimetry, electrogravimetry, electrodeposition, anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV), cathodic stripping voltammetry (CSV), polarography, differentia] pulse polarography (DPP), ion-selective electrode (ISE), ion-specific electrode (ISE), molecular selective electrode, potentiometry, potentio-metric titrimetry, and chronopotentiometric titrimetry. 

Electrochemistry involves the study of the relationship between electrical signals and chemical systems that are incorporated into an electrochemical cell. It plays a very important role in many areas of chemistry, including analysis, thermodynamic studies, synthesis, kinetic measurements, energy conversion, and biological electron transport [1]. Electroanalytical techniques such as conductivity, potentiometry, voltammetry, amperometric detection, co-ulometry, measurements of impedance, and chronopotentiometry have been developed for chemical analysis [2], Nowadays, most of the electroanalytical methods are computerized, not only in their instrumental and experimental aspects, but also in the use of powerful methods for data analysis. Chemo-metrics has become a routine method for data analysis in many fields of analytical chemistry that include electroanalytical chemistry [3,4].
