Abstract
The procedure has been developed to determine arsenate, arsenite, monomethylarsonate, and dimethylarsenite ions in water by the capillary electrophoresis method with spectrophotometric registration of detectable forms of arsenic derivatives. Isopolymolybdate has been selected as a reagent for derivatization. The stoichiometry has been studied and the extinction coefficients of the detected heteropoly complexes have been determined. Optimum conditions for their formation and for electrophoretic separation have been selected. Upon concentrating by the electrostacking method, the developed procedure affords the detection limits at a level of 0.01 mg/ml.
