The herbicide methomyl (2-methylthio-propionaldehyde-o-methylcarbamoyloxime) can be determined using fast scan differential pulse voltammetry with hanging mercury drop electrode by the measurement of the peak at -1.30 V (S.C.E.) which caused by the presence of methomyl in the ammoniacal buffer solution containing cobalt(II) salt. The peak current vs methomyl concentration dependence is linear over the concentration range 0.5 to 20.0 μg . l-1. The herbicide aldicarb (2-methyl-2(methylthio)propionaldehyde-o-methylcarbamoyloxime) is determined by its influence on the differential pulse voltammetric curve of copper(II) recorded in electrochemically enriched solution in acidic medium. The corresponding peak current at the potential + 0.08 V (S.C.E.) depends linearly on the aldicarb concentration in the range 0.07 to 5.00 μg ml-1.

Conditions were found for the determination of 6-mercaptopurine (I) and 6-thioguanine (II) by TAST polarography, differential pulse polarography and fast-scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. The detection limits were 10-6, 8 . 10-8, and 6 . 10-8 mol l-1, respectively. A further lowering of the detection limit to 2 . 10-8 mol l-1 was attained by preliminary accumulation of the determined substances at the surface of a hanging mercury drop.

Optimum conditions were found for the determination of 4-nitrobiphenyl by fast scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in the concentration range 1 . 10-5 to 2 . 10-7 mol l-1. A further increase in sensitivity was attained by adsorptive accumulation of this substance on the surface of the working electrode, permitting determination in the concentration range (2 – 10) . 10-8 mol l-1 with one minute accumulation of the substance in unstirred solution or (2 – 10) . 10-9 mol l-1 with three-minute accumulation in stirred solution. Linear scan voltammetry can be used to determine 4-nitrobiphenyl in the concentration range (2 – 10) . 10-9 mol l-1 with five-minute accumulation in stirred solution, with the advantage of a smoother baseline and smaller interference from substances that yield only tensametric peaks.

Electrocatalytic oxidation of multi-nanostructured active electrode modified by platinum nanoparticles on glucose was examined. Based on 0.5mol/L KOH solution, we see a sensitive and good-shaped oxidation peak current near -0.77V (VS, SCE) by using differential pulse voltammetry method to scan in the range of -0.9~0.4V.The peak is regarded as the quantitative peak. There is a good linear relationship between glucose concentration and the peak current in the range of 1.0×10-2~1.0×10-5 mol/L. The linear correlation coefficient is 0.99864.The detection limit is 1.0×10-6mol/L. If added 0.06 m mol/L ascorbic acid or 0.3m mol/L uric acid (simulating human blood components), the determination of glucose is not interfered with. Results of the determination of glucose concentration in the blood are satisfactory.

A study was made of the polarographic reduction of the title triazene, a mechanism was proposed for this process and optimal conditions were found for its analytical application using tast polarography in the range 1 . 10-4 - 2 . 10-6 mol l-1, differential pulse polarography in the range 1 . 10-4 - 2 . 10-7 mol l-1 and fast scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in the range 1 . 10-4 - 2 . 10-7 mol l-1. The sensitivity of the latter technique was increased through adsorptive accumulation of the test substance on the surface of the working electrode, permitting determination in the concentration range 1 . 10-7 - 2 . 10-9 mol l-1.

Polarographic and voltammetric behavior of 1,5-dinitronaphthalene was investigated using tast polarography and differential pulse polarography at a classic dropping mercury electrode and differential pulse voltammetry and adsorptive stripping voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. Optimum conditions have been found for the determination of tested substance in the concentration range 2-10 μmol l-1 in tast polarography, 0.2-1 μmol l-1 in differential pulse polarography at a classic dropping mercury electrode or differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode, and 0.02-0.1 μmol l-1 using adsorptive stripping voltammetry. A possible mechanism of the electrochemical reduction of 1,5-dinitronaphthalene at mercury electrodes is discussed.

Determination of 6-nitrobenzimidazole by differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode, a polished silver solid amalgam electrode and a mercury meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode was studied in the presence of the surfactants Triton X-100, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulfate. It was found that only cetyltrimethylammonium bromide at polished silver solid amalgam electrode increases the voltammetric signal. This fact was used for the determination of 6-nitrobenzimidazole in the concentration range from 1 × 10–7 to 1 × 10–4 mol l–1 by differential pulse voltammetry at polished silver solid amalgam electrode in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (concentration 1 × 10–4 mol l–1).

The polarographic reduction of the title azo dye was studied, a mechanism was suggested and optimal conditions were determined for analytical utilization of this process. A detection limit of 3 . 10-7 mol 1-1 was obtained using fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and 0.7 . 10-7 mol 1-1 using linear potential scan voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. The detection limit can be decreased by adsorptive accumulation of the determined substance on the surface of the hanging mercury drop electrode, to 1 . 10-8 mol 1-1 for fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and 0.6 . 10-8 mol 1-1 for linear scan voltammetry. The selectivity of the determination can be improved by preliminary separation by extraction or thin-layer chromatography.

The polarographic reduction of the azodye semitrypane blue has been studied, a mechanism has been proposed and optimal conditions have been found for the determination of this substance by TAST polarography (to 2.10-6 mol l-1) and differential pulse polarography (to 1.10-7 mol l-1) at a classical dropping mercury electrode and by fast scan differential pulse voltammetry (to 1.10-8 mol l-1) and linear scan voltammetry (to 1.10-8 mol l-1) at a hanging mercury drop electrode. The detection limit was decreased to 1.10-9 mol l-1 for fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and 1.10-10 mol l-1 for linear scan voltammetry by using adsorptive accumulation of the determined substance at the hanging mercury drop electrode.

The polarographic behaviour of 1-(2'-nitrophenyl)-3,3-dimethyltriazene in mixed aqueous-methanolic solvent was investigated by tast polarography, differential pulse polarography, and fast scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. A mechanism is suggested for the reduction of the compound investigated. The optimum conditions were found for the determination of this analyte by tast polarography over the concentration region of 100 to 2 μmol l-1 and by differential pulse polarography or fast scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode over the region of 100 to 0.2 μmol l-1. Additional sensitivity increase in the last-mentioned technique was achieved by adsorptive accumulation of analyte on the hanging mercury drop surface, owing to which the concentration region was depressed to 0.1 - 0.02 μmol l-1.
