| dc.description.abstract | Selenium is a metalloid and an essential micronutrient needed by animals and humans at low concentrations but extremely toxic at high concentrations. It is found in the natural environment and can be present in soil, food, air, plant, and water. The chemistry of Se is linked to its different chemical forms. Se mobility and toxicity are strongly dependent on its redox state; from highly soluble oxyanions like selenate, selenite, and hydroselenite to elemental Se. However, selenate and selenite are the two predominant Se species in the water system because of their high solubility and low adsorption by sediments and soil. This provides most techniques the platform to focus on the removal of both selenite and selenate among other Se species. This chapter is focused on the occurrence and effective management of Selenate and Selenite in water. | en_US |
