Abstract

A fast, simple, and reliable chemical method for tellurite quantification is described. The procedure is based on the NaBH₄-mediated reduction ofTeO₃^2- 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.
