Arsenic Plating

2006

Dear All

We need the best method for plating Arsenic (As+3) from solution as element. It would be appreciated any help.

Best regards,

Arsenic plating:
100 gm arsenic acid
30 gm sodium carbonate / washing soda [affil links](calc.)
10 gm potassium cyanide
1 lit water
charcoal anodes(in silk bags)
0,4 A/dm2
15-20 °C temp.
Very toxic stuff-avoid any contact with solution,objects must be oxide and grease free!
