Yn. Ni et L. Wang, Simultaneous polarographic determination of lead (II) and tin (II) by multivariate calibration, ANAL LETTER, 32(10), 1999, pp. 2081-2089
The polarographic waves of lead (II) and tin (II) overlap due to their simi
lar reductive potentials and it is difficult to determine these two compone
nts simultaneously without a pre-separation. In this paper, differential pu
lse polarography (DPP) combined with multivariate calibration approaches, s
uch as classical least squares (CLS), principal component regression (PCR)
and partial least squares (PLS), were successfully applied to the resolutio
n of overlapping polarographic waves of these two components in the concent
ration range of 0.05-3.50 mg l(-1). Satisfactory quantitative results were
obtained.
