Ar. Garifzyanov et al., New indicator reactions involving sulfur-containing organic compounds for the kinetic determination of selenium, J ANALYT CH, 56(5), 2001, pp. 485-488
New indicator reactions were proposed for the determination of selenium by
the kinetic method based on the reduction of Methylene Blue by some sulfur-
containing organic compounds. It was demonstrated that a high sensitivity o
f the determination of selenium is attained using unithiol and thiomalic, 2
,3-dithiomercaptopropionic, and rubeanic acids as reducing agents. In the p
resence of unithiol, down to 4 ng/mL selenium can be determined.
