Abstract

Isotope dilution analysis of the sub-µg l–1 levels of selenite and selenate in natural water samples by microwave-induced nitrogen plasma mass spectrometry (MIP-MS) was performed. An appropriate amount of a spike solution containing 78Se-selenite and 78Se-selenate was added to the natural water sample to be analyzed. Both analytes in the water were then concentrated simultaneously by passing the sample through a column that was filled with an anionic exchange resin. After the concentration process, all of the selenite and some of the selenate on the resin were eluted by 0.03 M nitric acid. The residual selenate was eluted by 0.13 M nitric acid. The eluted sample solutions were injected into MIP-MS, and isotope dilution analyses were carried out. Selenite and selenate concentrations as low as 0.01 µg l–1 in the natural water sample were successfully determined by the proposed method.
