MULTICOMPONENT ANALYSIS OF STRIPPING VOLTAMMOGRAMS BY TARGET TRANSFORMATION FACTOR-ANALYSIS

Target transformation factor analysis was studied for simultaneous det ermination of four simulated stripping voltammograms. A Gaussian funct ion was used to generate synthetic stripping voltammograms. Two progra ms, SPGRELEP and ELECTTFA, were designed to perform voltammogram simul ation and target transformation factor analysis. The method made use o f full information of voltammogram and matrix data processing. The ELE CTTFA program was used to determine the number of components, to ident ify the components and to yield a quantitative analysis of unknowns. E xperimental results showed the method to be successful.
