Advantages and limitations of combining separation techniques with voltammetry.
In this review the combination of voltammetric methods of analysis with separation techniques, such as electrochemical separations, extractive separations, chromatography, electrochromatography, electrophoresis, volatilization and coprecipitation is critically discussed. Based on available publications and their own experience, the authors try to evaluate different separation techniques in view of future developments, paying special attention to extraction methods. For organic analysis, chromatography and electrophoresis with voltammetric detection are considered to be especially attractive while for stripping analysis, major progress is expected to be made in the development of electrodes and electronic equipment. Extraction, coprecipitation and volatilization will be of minor significance.
