Properties and Applications of Different Selenium Forms (Elemental Selenium, Selenides, etc.)
Abstract Selenium (Se), a nonmetallic element, exhibits significant differences in physicochemical properties and applications depending on its chemical forms (elemental selenium, selenides, selenates, etc.). Toxicity varies drastically among forms—selenite (SeO₃²⁻) is 10 times more toxic than selenides, requiring strict intake…
