Catalytic resonance scattering spectral method for the determination of trace amounts of Se.
A new catalytic kinetic method has been proposed for the determination of Se from 8.0x10(-9) to 8.0x10(-8) M, using the fact that Se(IV) can catalyze the slow reaction between KClO(3) and phenylhydrazine sulfate (PH) in 0.1 M H(2)SO(4) solution at 100 degrees C. The reduction product of ClO(3)(-), Cl(-), reacts with Ag(+) to form (AgCl)(n) nanoparticles. The nanoparticles exhibit a maximum resonance scattering spectral peak at 470 nm. The intensity of resonance scattering light at 470 nm is linear with respect to the Se concentration, using the fixed-reaction time procedure. The factors influencing the determination of Se were examined. This catalytic resonance scattering spectral method has been applied to the analysis of Se in real samples, with satisfactory results.
