I want to detect arsenic with anodic stripping voltammetry but finding some problems. I am attaching my results herewith. Could somebody help us in what error we are doing ?

For ASV analysis:

1) We prepared 1 mM NaAsO2 (sodium arsenite) solution in 1 M HCl.

2) We measured CV first and attaching the result herewith

3) Then we clicked on stripping mode and used following parameters:

deposition potential = - 0.4 V

depsoition time = 80 sec

4) The we performed Square Wave Voltammetry with following parameters:

intial E = -0.2

Final E =0.8

amplitude = 0.025V

Frequency = 40 hertz

Potential Increment = 0.004V

But Current voltage curve is not giving desired result. Also many times there is overflow of current. IV graph instead of showing Gaussian curve is showing Z like curve.

I am attaching herewith result of CV, ASV and also paper we are following.

Kindly look into them and let us know what is the problem....
