Review of the catalytic voltammetric determination of titanium traces

Catalytic and catalytic adsorptive stripping voltammetry are some of the most sensitive analytical methods. A review of various catalytic and catalytic adsorptive systems of titanium and their use in voltammetric analysis is presented. The mechanisms of catalytic reactions are discussed in detail. In addition to a survey of literature (91 references), catalytic polarographic, voltammetric and catalytic adsorptive stripping voltammetric determination of titanium traces at liquid mercury and metallic films electrodes are discussed briefly. Moreover, the application of the redox systems Ti(IV)/Ti(III) for the indirect determination of voltammetrically inactive oxidizers participating in catalytic reactions (e.g. chlorates) and voltammetrically inactive ligands (e.g. organic acids and thiocyanates) is also presented.
