Analysis

Problems related to the analysis of tellurium in environmental samples are discussed in: Tellurium in the environment: current knowledge and identification of gaps by M. Filella, C. Reimann, M. Biver, I. Rodushkin and K. Rodushkina.

Updated information on the meaurement of Te by ICP-MS in A concise guide for the determination of less-studied technology-critical elements (Nb, Ta, Ga, In, Ge, Te) by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in environmental samples.

You will find a voltammetric method 'that works' at: Direct determination of tellurium and its redox speciation at the low nanogram level in natural waters by catalytic cathodic stripping voltammetry by M. Biver, F. Quentel and M. Filella (2015) Talanta 144, 1007-1013.
