Determination of Se(IV) and Se(VI) in high saline media was investigated by cathodic stripping voltammetry (CSV). The voltammetric method was applied to assay selenium in seawater, hydrothermal and hemodialysis fluids. The influence of ionic strength on selenium determination is discussed. The CSV method was based on the co-electrodeposition of Se(IV) with Cu(II) ions and Se(VI) determined by difference after sample UV-irradiation for photolytic selenium reduction. UV-irradiation was also used as sample pre-treatment for organic matter decomposition. Detection limit of 0.030 microg L(-1) (240 s deposition time) and relative standard deviation (RSD) of 6.19% (n=5) for 5.0 microg L(-1) of Se(IV) were calculated. Linear calibration range for selenium was observed from 1.0 to 100.0 microg L(-1). Concerning the pre-treatment step, best results were obtained by using 60 min UV-irradiation interval in H(2)O(2)/HCl medium. Se(VI) was reduced to the Se(IV) electroactive species with recoveries between 91.7% and 112.9%. Interferents were also investigated.
