3130 METALS BY ANODIC STRIPPING VOLTAMMETRY
3130 A. Introduction Anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) is one of the most sensitive metal analysis techniques. For some metals, ASV is as much as 10 to 100 times as sensitive as electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy. This corresponds to detection levels in the nanogram-per-liter range. The technique requires no sample extraction or …
