Abstract
The use of polarographic maximum suppression methods for determining polyacrylamides and polyacrylic acid-based polymers was investigated. Using the oxygen, Co2+, and Hg2+ maxima these polymers were determined at the low ppm level. The effectiveness of polymers as maximum suppressors was dependent on the charge of the polymer and that of the electrode at the potential at which the polarographic wave occurred. The maximum suppression of various binary mixtures of polyacrylamides indicated that in some mixtures suppression was additive while in other mixtures, particularly those containing both anionic and cationic polymers, the suppression was greatly reduced. Aqueous extracts of chosen coals contained various interfering substances which could be removed most efficiently using Sephadex G-75, although this resin was only compatible with anionic and neutral polymers.
