TL;DR: In this paper, the use of a glassy carbon electrode coated with a Nafion perfluorosulphonate resin containing N,N′-bis(3-carboxysalicylidene)trimethylenediamine (a Schiff base) in anodic stripping voltammetry for the determination of trace amounts of mercury is described.
Abstract: The use of a glassy carbon electrode coated with a Nafion perfluorosulphonate resin containing N,N′-bis(3-carboxysalicylidene)trimethylenediamine (a Schiff base) in anodic stripping voltammetry for the determination of trace amounts of mercury is described. The coating procedure, performed by applying a solution of the polymer containing the Schiff base to the electrode surface, is convenient and fast. In comparison with the glassy carbon electrode, the main advantages of the modified electrode are improved resistance to interference from surface-active compounds and increased sensitivity and selectivity. The utility of the modified electrode was demonstrated by its application to samples of urine and natural water.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple and rapid method for the determination of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin by differential pulse polarography (DPP) has been developed, and the changes in the voltammetric behavior of this drug compound with pH was studied.
Abstract: A simple and rapid method for the determination of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin by differential pulse polarography (DPP) has been developed. The changes in the voltammetric behavior of this drug compound with pH was studied, and the most suitable pH for analytical purposes was found to be pH 8.5. The DPP behavior of this compound at this pH exhibited two reduction waves at −1.44 and −1.64 V. The former wave could be used to determine ciprofloxacin between 5 × 10−7 and 3 × 10−5 M. The method was applied to the determination of ciprofloxacin in formulated tablets with a relative standard deviation of less than 0.4%.

TL;DR: Anodic waves of methimazole (I) (1-methylimidazole-2-thiol) and carbimazoles (II) on mercury electrodes correspond to mercury salt formation as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Anodic waves of methimazole (I) (1-methylimidazole-2-thiol) and carbimazole (II) (1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methyl-2-thio-4-imidazoline) on mercury electrodes correspond to mercury salt formation. Both compounds form in the thiono form a soluble complex at pH < 6, compound (I) at higher pH-values a slightly soluble salt of the thiol form. Electrode processes involving the thiol form are complicated by adsorption. Oxidation at solid electrodes occurs only at potentials more than 0.5 V more positive. For compound (I) spectrophotometry indicated pKa=12.0 ± 0.2. By d.c. polarography in 0.1 M H2SO4 containing 10% ethanol the determination of both compounds is possible between 4 × 10− and 1 × 10−3 M, by differential pulse polarography between 1 × 10− and 1 × 10−4 M, by differential pulse voltammetry at HMDE between 5 × l0−7 and 6 × 10− M.

TL;DR: In this article, the linearity ranges for bismuth and lead are 7 × 10 −8 −1 × 10−5 and 1 × 10 -7 −6 × 10-6M, respectively.
Abstract: Bismuth(III) and lead(II) can be reduced at –0.65 V (versus SCE) and –0.76 V (versus SCE), respectively, in a sodium hydroxide solution containing glyoxalbis(2-hydroxyanil)(GBHA)[2,2′-(ethanediylidenedinitrilo)diphenol] by using single-sweep polarography, based on their adsorptive GBHA complexes. Both waves are sensitive and selective and can be utilised for the simultaneous determination of these two elements. The linearity ranges for bismuth and lead are 7 × 10–8–1 × 10–5 and 1 × 10–7–6 × 10–6M, respectively. The sensitivity for bismuth can be increased ten-fold by using cathodic stripping voltammetry with a static mercury electrode. The proposed procedure was applied to the simultaneous determination of bismuth and lead in some ore and alloy samples. The mechanism of the electrode process has also been studied.

TL;DR: In this article, a highly sensitive differential-pulse polarographic method was developed for the determination of sub-micromolar concentrations of nitrite ion after diazotisation with sulphanilic acid at low pH and coupling with N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride.
Abstract: A highly sensitive differential-pulse polarographic method has been developed for the determination of sub-micromolar concentrations of nitrite ion after diazotisation with sulphanilic acid at low pH and coupling with N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride. At pH 2.0 and with 0.01 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate as the base electrolyte, the peak current at +0.020 V versus a saturated calomel electrode increases linearly in the concentration range 5 × 10–8–2.12 × 10–6M in simple aqueous solutions. The relative standard deviation is 3.3% for the determination of 1 × 10–7M nitrite.

TL;DR: Using a static mercury drop electrode, a current vs potential scan was performed between −0.7 and −1.10 vs an Ag/AgCl reference electrode as mentioned in this paper, and the reduction potential for diacetyl was − 0.83 V.
Abstract: Reconstituted single strength orange juice was distilled to recover diacetyl. 0.5 mL of 1N LiOH was added to 4.5 mL of distillate. Using a static mercury drop electrode, a current vs potential scan was performed between −0.7 and −1.10 vs an Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The reduction potential for diacetyl was −0.83 V. Peak heights were proportional to concentration throughout the test range (8.3 ppb to 1 ppm). Diacetyl recoveries were approximately 85%.
