Applications of Polarography

1) Trace analysis 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

• 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.
