Abstract
The influence of ultrasound on voltammetric measurements at a mechanically stable renewed mercury electrode was described. The measurements were carried out in a solution of 4,4'-bipyridyl in 0.1 M KCl + 0.01 M NaOH, in 1 . 10-4 M CdSO4 + 5 . 10-6 M tribenzylamine in 0.1 M H2SO4 and in 3 . 10-3 M CdSO4 + 1 . 10-4 M tribenzylamine hydrochloride. Possible development and applications of related electroanalytical techniques by using mercury and solid electrodes were discussed. A pronounced influence of ultrasound was observed mainly in cases where the kinetics and irreversibility of the electrochemical and related processes played an important role.
