The feasibility of using voltammetric techiques for the direct determination of metal ions in fused lithium chloride-potassium chloride at 450 has been investigated. Using a reference electrode of platinum, and microelectrodes of platinum, tungsten, or carbon, the polargraphic characteristics of cadmium, bismuth, chromium, copper, zinc, thallium, indium, lead, tin, gallium, mercury, and aluminum chlorides were studied. In general, high melting metals gave dendritic deposits which caused an increase of microelectrode area with time. Under suitable conditions voltammetric measurements can be used for analytical purposes.
