Mm. Zareh et al., NEW POLYCRYSTALLINE SOLID-STATE RESPONSIVE ELECTRODES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE SELENITE ION, Electroanalysis, 7(6), 1995, pp. 587-590
New electrodes for the selective determination of selenite were constr
ucted by compressing either HgSeO3 or a mixture of HgSeO3 and Hg2Cl2.
The linear concentration range was 6.0 x 10(-5)-10(-1) M with a slope
of 29.5 mV/concentration decade. The usable pH range for both electrod
es was wide (3-10) and their life span was up to 8 days. Selectivity c
oefficient values were determined for various anions and no significan
t interferences were observed for most of them. The solubility product
s of some sparingly soluble selenite salts were determined using the l
atter electrode.
