The Use of Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry for the Determination of Ti(IV): Advantages, Limitations, Applications – A Review

Abstract This review discusses methods of determining the presence of titanium using adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) and catalytic adsorptive voltammetry (CAdSV). The work centres on the key factors that influence the sensitivity and selectivity of the proposed analytical procedures. Particular attention was paid to the role of the complexing agents used and the presence of oxidizing agents. The influence of the type of working electrode and the most commonly used electrode modifiers was also considered. The possibility of determining titanium and other elements simultaneously during a single voltammetric measurement was also discussed. The following sections describe the potential for interference from components of the inorganic and organic matrices. The review also provides examples of how the described voltammetric procedures can be used to determine titanium in real samples with diverse matrices. The most important analytical parameters of the methods described are presented in tabular form to allow comparison of their usefulness for analysis.
