Applications of Polarography

Applications of Polarography is used for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of reducible or oxidizable substances in solutions.

1. Trace Analysis in Applications of Polarography:

   • Used for detecting and quantifying trace amounts of electroactive species (e.g., metal ions, organic compounds) with high sensitivity and selectivity.

2. Environmental Monitoring in Applications of Polarography:

   • Determines concentrations of heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, mercury) and pollutants in water and soil.

3. Pharmaceutical Analysis:

   • Employed for quality control, drug development, and stability testing, including monitoring drug purity and degradation.

4. Food Analysis:

   • Detects contaminants like heavy metals and pesticides in food and measures nutrients and antioxidants.

5. Biochemical Analysis:

   • Studies the redox behavior of biomolecules (e.g., proteins, enzymes), providing insights into their structure and function.

6. Electrochemical Kinetics:

   • Provides data on electron transfer rates and reaction mechanisms in redox processes.

7. Speciation Analysis:

   • Identifies chemical forms of analytes, aiding in understanding their reactivity and toxicity.

8. Electroplating and Corrosion Studies:

   • Analyzes metal deposition, dissolution, and corrosion behavior, as well as the effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors.
