This paper describes a new voltammetric procedure for the inorganic speciation of As(III) and As(V) in water samples. The procedure is based on the chemical reduction of arsenate [As(V)] to arsenite [As(III)] followed by the voltammetric determination of total arsenic as As(III) at the hanging mercu

✦ Synopsis
A procedure is presented for the determination of arsenite and total arsenic in sea water using differential pulse cathodic stripping voitammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in the presence of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDC). The deposition potential was -0.3 V, whereas the scan was initiated from 0 V. Optimised conditions include a PDC concentration of 0.5/zM and a pH = 0.8. The detection limit of the method is 3 nM As. The method was tested by analysis of CASS-2 certified sea water and applied to determination of arsenic in Atlantic ocean water.
