The application of controlled potential electrolysis for the elemental analysis by the inductively coupled plasma for atomic emission spectrometry using a direct sample insertion device will be described. The purpose of the technique is to improve the ICP detection limits over those obtained by conventional nebulization of liquid samples and to separate trace metallic elements from a complex matrix. Preconcentration and separation are achieved by electrodeposition using different electrode types. A conventional graphite electrode, a hanging mercury drop electrode, a reticulated vitreous carbon electrode and a tubular graphite electrode are studied. Advantages and limitations of the different electrodes and techniques will be discussed.
