title: Development of wavelet transform voltammetric analyzer.
abstract: An on-line wavelet transform algorithm and development of voltammetric analyzer with the on-line wavelet transform (WT-voltammetric analyzer) are described. Because the on-line wavelet transform decomposes the sampled signal simultaneously with the progress of sampling, the WT-voltammetric analyzer gives all the components contained in the sampled voltammogram. Applications of the WT-voltammetric analyzer in linear sweep voltammetric analysis of mixtures of Pb(II) and Tl(I) and in square wave voltammetric analysis of mixture of Cd(II) and In(III) were investigated. Results showed that the overlapping peaks of Pb(II) and Tl(I) can be separated easily, and the peak position after the on-line wavelet transform does not change. The linearity of the calibration curves for Cd(II) and In(III) in the overlapping square wave voltammetric curves were kept after the on-line wavelet transform. Quantitative determination of Cd(II) and In(III) in mixture samples were investigated. The recoveries are between 92.5 and 107.1%.
