  • Title: Selenium adsorption and speciation with Mg-FeCO₃ layered double hydroxides loaded cellulose fibre.
    Author: Chen ML, An MI.
    Journal: Talanta; 2012 Jun 15; 95():31-5. PubMed ID: 22748552.
    Abstract:
    A novel adsorbent was developed by coating Mg-FeCO(3) layered double hydroxides (LDHs) on cellulose fibre. The LDHs take up significant amount of selenite and selenate in a wide pH range with similar sorption capacities (pH 3.8-8.0 for selenite and pH 5.8-7.0 for selenate). A mini-column packed with Mg-FeCO(3) LDHs layer coated cellulose fibre particles was incorporated into a sequential injection system for uptake of selenite at pH 6.0. The retained selenite was afterwards collected with 70 μ L of 0.8%(m/v) NaOH as eluent, followed by hydride generation and atomic fluorescence spectrometric detection. Total inorganic selenium was adsorbed at pH 6.0 by the LDHs-cellulose fibre mini-column after selenate was pre-reduced to selenite by 2.0 mol L(-1) HCl at 80°C, and selenium speciation was performed by difference. With a sample volume of 1.0 mL, an enrichment factor of 13.3 was derived with a detection limit of 11 ng L(-1) within a linear range of 0.04-4.0 μg L(-1). A relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.3% (0.5 μg L(-1), n=11) was achieved. The procedure was validated by analyzing selenium in a certified reference material GBW 10010 (rice), and speciation of inorganic selenium in natural water samples.
