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....
