The performance characteristics of Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DPASV) at a rotating gold electrode for the determination of low concentrations of AS(III) were investigated. It appeared that in a 1 M H2SO4 medium the calibration curves for As(III) were linear over the concentration range investigated, up to 5 mug/l. Measurement of As(III) is possible down to about 0.2 mug/l As(III). The presence of Cu 2+ and Cd 2+ had a severe, and Pb 2+ a moderate disturbing effect on the determination of AS(III), turning the method inadequate for water polluted with heavy metals.18 pnl18arseendpasvgoudelektrodeReport2012-12-12
