The possibility for differential pulse polarography (DPP) determinatio
n of s-triazine has been shown and compared with gas-chromatographic (
GC) measurements. Good agreement was found between GC and DPP measurem
ents in analyzing 20 samples of industrial wastewater. It was found, u
sing controlled potential coulometry (CPC), that four electrons take p
art in electrochemical reduction steps. On the basis of this and polar
ographic measurements, the mechanism of electrochemical reduction of s
-triazine was postulated.
