A novel and simple hydride generator has been developed. The hydride generator has good stability and high gas liquid separation efficiency. The generator serves as an interface of capillary electropboresis (CE) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). This device eliminates the nebulization step and overcomes the common problem of suction flow resulting from the use of nebulization gas in ICP. Selenium compounds that were separated by CE were converted into the corresponding volatile hydrides, followed by ICP-AES measurement. The effects of the concentration of the hydride generating reagents (HCl and NaBH4), the carrier gas flow rate, and heavy metal interference on Se emission intensity were discussed. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of peak area, based on six determinations of 50 ng mL(-1) standard of Se-IV and Se-VI, were 1.5% and 1.8%, respectively. The detection limits (3 sigma) of peak area were 2.1 ng mL(-1) and 2.3 ng mL(-1) for Se-IV and Se-VI, respectively. Speciation analysis of inorganic Se-IV and Se-IV species using the HG-CE-ICP-AES system was demonstrated in tap and river water samples. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
