In-situ external reflection FTIR spectroelectrochemical and XPS investigations of cobalt-cyanometallates as inorganic polymeric materials on a platinum electrode

This paper provides an introduction to the workshop on methodologies for wastewater quality monitoring, Nimes, 29-30 October 1998, organised by the European Commission and Ecoles des Mines d'Alès. It highlights some overall aspects for the potential uses of on-line instrumentation related to wastewater management and focuses on relations to the urban wastewater treatment directive (91/271/EEC). Some potentials for further developments and actions related to the EU Directive are proposed.
