Abstract:
This study presents different hybrid signal processing algorithms which are useful in the interpretation of voltammetric signals recorded on mercury film electrodes for the determination of Cr(VI). Because of the complex character of the distortions (random, fast increasing, nonlinear, background noise and other perturbations) the application of a complex numerical procedure is necessary. In this work different variants of hybrid algorithms are utilized: adaptive degree polynomial filter, baseline generation and subtraction, signals ratio method, orthogonal signal correction and continuous wavelet transformation with dedicated mother wavelet. The operation and effectiveness of proposed procedures were tested by the determination of very low concentrations of Cr(VI) in synthetic and river water samples.
