Abstract
There is a strong need in the recent steel industry to urgently develop a simple and sensitive method for the determination of trace elements in iron and steel without using harmful chemicals in the troublesome preconcentration steps taking a lot of skill and time. Stripping voltammetry comprises the preconcentration and the subsequent stripping steps. This is one of the most sensitive methods for the present purpose. This review describes the theoretical concepts, advantages, operational parameters and practical applications to steel analysis of stripping voltammetry.
