Determination of different forms of arsenic, antimony and selenium in water samples using hydride generation

This paper shows speciation analysis of arsenic, antimony and selenium using hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry. Determining different forms of given elements (forms on different oxidation stages: As(III)/As(V), Sb(III)/Sb(V), Se(IV)/Se(VI) and forms bound with organic matter) is based on different kinetics of hydride generation for forms on different oxidation degrees. This paper shows steps for speciation analysis as described in literature, the main procedures and reagent used in different studies.
