Abstract:
This work presents a simple, reproducible and low cost method, employing differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry, for determination of selenium(IV). A gold electrode obtained from recordable compact disks (CD-R) was used to evaluate the voltammetric behavior of the metallic ion in 0.1molL(-1) HClO(4). To evaluate the voltammetric behavior of Se(IV), parameters such as deposition potential and deposition time were optimized. A wide linear response range, from 0.5 to 291ngmL(-1), was obtained using a 5.0mm diameter gold electrode. Recovery tests for Se(IV) utilizing standard reference solutions provided values between 94 and 96%.
