Development and study of electrochemical procedures and of modified electrodes for the determination of trace metallic species in solution
This thesis describes the development and study of electroanalytical procedures for the determination of trace metallic species in solution. Two major studies are included. In the first study, a square wave stripping voltammetric procedure, utilizing a thin film mercury electrode, was developed and...

This thesis describes the development and study of electroanalytical procedures for the determination of trace metallic species in solution. Two major studies are included.
