摘要
A fast, simple, and reliable chemical method for tellurite quantification is described. The procedure is based on the NaBH(4)-mediated reduction of TeO(3)(2-) followed by the spectrophotometric determination of elemental tellurium in solution. The method is highly reproducible, is stable at different pH values, and exhibits linearity over a broad range of tellurite concentrations.
