Purification of reagents and separation of element traces by electrodeposition onto a graphite tube cathode

Spectrochemical Analysis of Metal Elements Electrodeposited from Water Samples by Laser-Induced Shock Wave Plasma Spectroscopy

“…In an effort to improve sensitivity, some researchers have proposed a new technique by combining electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) with the electrodeposition m ethod, which is used to collect elements in water in the form of a thin layer on an electrode. [1][2][3][4][5] However, this technique is limited by its inadequacy for multi-element analysis. There is reason to expect that this shortcoming will be overcome by combining the electrodeposition method with the technique of atomic emission spectroscopy.…”

Synthesis of platinum group metal nanoparticles assisted by CO2reduction and H2cogeneration at gas-diffusion electrodes

“…Our results suggest that the reduction of the metal cations to elemental nanoparticles is driven by a homogenous chemical reduction reaction as is clear from the linear decrease of the PGM ion concentration through time, as opposed to an exponential concentration decrease which is typical for heterogeneous reactions. 27 Hence, the total charge consumed is related to the simultaneous production of H 2 and CO. Some electrochemical reduction of the metals could also take place at the surface of the electrode, as it is evidenced with Pd, in which the Pd deposited on the electrode can catalyse the reduction of CO 2 to formic acid.…”

Atomic Absorption, Atomic Emission, and Flame Emission Spectrometry

“…Cadmium was preconcentrated from urine by electrodeposition onto a tungsten wire and then insertion of the wire into an ETA for analysis (607). Electrodeposition onto a L'vov platform (605), and onto the inside wall of a graphite tube (609)(610)(611), for analysis by ETAAS was described. Atsuya et al (517,518) reduced the mass of biological samples by ashing in a muffle furnace and then analyzing the solid residue directly by ETAAS.…”
