Summary A sulfonic acid derivative of bismuthiol-II (bisIIS) was synthesized from 4-hydrazinobenzene sulfonic acid and carbon disulfide. Selenium(IV) was adsorbed selectively and quantitatively on the anion-exchange resin loaded with bis-IIS. Selenium adsorbed on the resin was eluted by the use of penicillamine and determined by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (hydride generation/AAS). Selenium(VI) and other forms of selenium, which were not adsorbed onto the resin, were collected on the resin after digestion with nitric acid followed by reduction with hydrochloric acid. Separative preconcentration of selenium(IV), selenium(VI) and other forms of selenium in 0.5 mol/l sodium chloride could be carried out successfully by the proposed procedures. However, in the case of estuarial sea water containing a large quantity of organic substances, selenium(IV) could not be separated, because organic substances interfered with the reduction of selenium(VI) to selenium(IV) by the use of hydrochloric acid. Selenium(IV) and total amount of selenium(VI) and other forms of selenium dissolved in polluted sea water samples were determined by the proposed procedures.
