Abstract
Reductive stripping chronopotentiometry in a flow system is used for determination of selenium in mussels and NBS bovine liver after acid digestion. The automated flow system contains a thin-layer cell with a mercury film electrode. In the deposition step, mercury(II) selenide is formed on the mercury film surface; the stripping step involves reduction to mercury and hydrogen selenide. This reduction is done in a separate solution of almost saturated calcium chloride, which eliminates interferences from oxygen so that solutions need not be deoxygenated. The detection limit is 0.14 μg l −1 selenium at a deposition time of 120 s.
