The selenium content in soil can be determined fluorometrically upon conversion of the
selenium to the fluorescent product shown, followed by extraction in cyclohexane.
Emission from the fluorescent product is observed at 518 nm.
Se
The selenium content in a 0.153 g soil sample was converted to the fluorescent product
and extracted in 50.0 mL of cyclohexane. The method of standard additions was used to determine the selenium content in the
soil sample. Initially, 3.00 mL of the cyclohexane solution were placed in a cuvette for fluorescence determination. Several small
additions of a 1.86 µg Se/mL standard solution containing the fluorescent product were added to the 3.00 mL solution in the
cuvette. The fluorescence was measured at 518 nm. The results are shown in the table.
