Determination of Se(IV) concentration via cathodic stripping voltammetry in the presence of Cu(II) ions and ammonium diethyl dithiophosphate.

The development of a methodology for the determination of Se(IV) concentration via cathodic stripping voltammetry is described in this work. The methodology is based on the formation of copper selenide (CuSe), whose reduction signal at -0.60 V has been used as an analytical response to quantify the Se(IV) concentration in solution.
