Anodic stripping voltammetry, a classical electroanalytical method has been optimized to analyze trace Pd (II) in tailings. The authors identified the registration conditions in the determination of the analytical signal Pd (II): the composition of background electrolyte and the electrolysis potential. The electroanalytical approaches with an unmodified carbon electrode were used. The use of stripping voltammetry applied to the assessment of the palladium content in geological objects was demonstrated.
