  • Detection of nitrate esters using silver electrode
    Patent number: 4436590
    Abstract: A method for the detection of nitrate esters using a solid working electrode of silver, copper, or gold. The method involves the forming of a test solution of a sample and supporting electrolyte, the insertion of the solution into a cell having the solid working electrode, deoxygenation of the test solution, application of a linearly varying potential to the cell and the recording of a voltammogram to show the reduction wave of the nitrate esters.
