Preparation of red elemental nanoselenium by Arabic gum template method
Keyword(s):
Red elemental nanoselenium was prepared by reducing sodium selenite with ascorbic acid using Arabic resin as template in this study. The factors effecting on the particle size change of nanoselenium such as reaction time, reactant concentration, template mass fraction and reaction temperature were studied. The orthogonal experiment L9(34) was designed to determine the optimal process conditions. The elemental nanoselenium was characterized by IR and particle size analyzer. The results showed that the stable red elemental selenium with nanometer scale was prepared.
