These test methods cover the determination of dissolved and total recoverable selenium in most waters and wastewaters.

1.1These test methods cover the determination of dissolved and total recoverable selenium in most waters and wastewaters. Both test methods utilize atomic absorption procedures, as follows:

Sections

Test Method A—Gaseous Hydride AAS2, 3

 7 – 16

Test Method B—Graphite Furnace AAS

17 – 26

1.2These test methods are applicable to both inorganic and organic forms of dissolved selenium. They are applicable also to particulate forms of the element, provided that they are solubilized in the appropriate acid digestion step. However, certain selenium-containing heavy metallic sediments may not undergo digestion.

1.3These test methods are most applicable within the following ranges:

Test Method A—Gaseous Hydride AAS2, 3

1 to 20 μg/L

Test Method B—Graphite Furnace AAS

2 to 100 μg/L

These ranges may be extended (with a corresponding loss in precision) by decreasing the sample size or diluting the original sample, but concentrations much greater than the upper limits are more conveniently determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry.

1.4The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to inch-pound units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see 11.12 and 13.14.
