Abstract: | A flow injection system has been developed consisting of on-line preconcentration of selenium species in a microcolumn filled with activated alumina, reduction of Se(VI) to Se(IV) and determination by HG-AAS. When 0.01 mol/L HNO3 is used both as carrier and activation reagent for the alumina microcolumn, up to 150 ng of Se(IV) and Se(VI) can be preconcentrated and quantitatively eluted by 500 L of 2 mol/L NH3. The preconcentration factor is 50 when 25 mL of sample is used. The detection limit is about 6 ng/L, the precision is 5% for low concentrations such as 150 ng/L and 3% at high concentrations such as 120 ng/mL. The proposed method is suitable for natural water samples and inorganic Se speciation can be performed by determining Se(IV) and total selenium [Se(VI) is evaluated from the difference]. |
