Abstract

We propose a new method for the voltammetric detection of metals and metal compounds on surfaces of sold materials. The method is based on the reduction of oxidized metal compounds using an alkali amalgam droplet, the dissolution of the metals in the amalgam droplet, finally followed by recording the voltammetric anodic dissolution of the metal. The sample collection and all the following steps, including the voltammetric measurement, are performed at the same site of the sample and without any temporal interruption as one and the same electrode system is used for all steps. The proposed method is as an easy to handle, non-destructive express analysis for a wide range of samples.
