ANODIC-STRIPPING VOLTAMMETRY AT HYDRODYNAMIC MERCURY THIN-FILM ELECTRODES - NUMERICAL-SIMULATION OF STRIPPING PEAKS FOR REVERSIBLE PROCESSES AT UNIFORMLY ACCESSIBLE ELECTRODES

The time dependent backwards implicit method is used to simulate the s hape and position of the stripping peaks in DC (linear scan) anodic st ripping voltammetry at mercury thin film hydrodynamic electrodes for e lectrochemically reversible systems. The effect of variable diffusion layer thickness, assumed uniform and experimentally controllable in th e case of rotating disk systems, in influencing both the peak potentia l and peak shape, is quantified and the implications for anodic stripp ing voltammetry under convective conditions noted.
