Applications of adsorptive stripping voltammetry in the determination of trace and ultratrace metals

Abstract

Abstract Recent advances in adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) are reviewed. The mechanisms of the adsorptive and stripping steps are given. The criteria of ligand selection, along with the present status and future trends in AdSV for trace element analysis, are discussed. Tables containing the elements determined by AdSV and the ligands used in AdSV, as well as the real samples analyzed and operational conditions, are presented (together with 171 references).
