ABSTRACT
This chapter will briefly present the fundamentals of
various stripping procedures. Then, the instrumentation
requirements, including the selection of the voltammetric
analyzer, working electrode, cell and other variables,
will be discussed. It is recommended that the readers
familiarize themselves with the chapters on conductance,
potentiometry, and, especially, voltammetry. The litera-
ture of stripping analysis is reviewed briefly to help poten-
tial users in understanding and choosing among several
variants of the technique. Review articles (Copeland and
Skogerboe, 1974; Esteban and Casassas, 1994; Florence,
1984; Wang, 1982a, 1990) and books (Brainina and
Neyman, 1993; Vydra et al., 1976; Wang, 1985, 1989)
give a comprehensive outline of modern stripping analy-
sis, embracing new strategies, associated problems, and
numerous applications.
