PG - 7257-7264 LID - 10.1021/acs.analchem.0c00878 [doi] AB - Ultraviolet vapor generation (UVG), as an environmental/user-friendly and efficient sampling approach, was first combined with the gas phase enrichment of Se by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) microplasma. Volatile Se species from UVG, being much more complicated than conventional hydrides, can be trapped quantitatively ( approximately 100%) on the quartz surface of DBD tube under O(2)-containing atmosphere and released ( approximately 100%) under H(2)-containing atmosphere. The absolute detection limit (LOD) for Se was 4 pg (injection volume = 1.2 mL), and the linear (R(2) > 0.995) range was 0.05-50 mug/L. The results were in good agreement with those of certified reference materials (CRMs) of water and soil samples, and spiked recoveries for real samples were 90-102% with 1-10% relative standard deviations (RSDs). By gas phase analyte enrichment, the proposed method improved analytical sensitivity (peak height) by 16 times. The mechanism was deduced that dominating SeCO species besides H(2)Se generating from UVG were all trapped on the DBD quartz tube surface as SeO(2) or selenite and then released/transported as atoms to the detection zone. The combination of UVG and DBD can facilitate the green uses, miniaturization, and portability revealing its promising potential in field elemental analysis.
