Selenium was discovered in 1817 by the Swedish scientist Jöns Jacob Berzelius, one of the founders of modern chemistry, who named it after selene, the Greek word of moon [1].Located right below selenium in the chalcogen group of the period table is its congener tellurium, which was actually discovered 35 years earlier, in 1782 …

Tellurium is recognized as one of the critical elements[9,10,11,12] with an approximate production rate of 480 tons per year (2019), and about 90 pct of it comes from copper anode slime.[2,7] Major components of copper anode slime are copper, sulfur, silver, selenium, arsenic, lead, gold, nickel, antimony, and tellurium.Apart from copper …
In the late 1990's, the use of selenium (usually with bismuth) as an additive to plumbing brasses to meet no-lead environmental standards became important. The average price for selenium in 2000 was $3.82 per pound. Tellurium is a relatively rare element, in the same chemical family as oxygen, sulfur, selenium, and polonium: oxygen and sulfur ...
This chapter reviews significant reports published in 2019 on thiophene, benzothiophenes, and selenium and tellurium analogs. Inevitably, with the extensive interest in this group of heterocycles, there can only be a limited selection from the many available examples and that is the author's idiosyncratic choice. Note, often papers …
Selenium- and tellurium-based agents turn the oxidizing redox environment present in certain cancer cells into a lethal cocktail of reactive species that push these cells over a critical redox threshold and ultimately kill them through apoptosis. This kind of toxicity is highly selective: normal, healthy cells remain largely unaffected, …
Selenium and tellurium are both energy critical elements as defined by the American Physical Society and the Materials Research Society. When mixed together, both elements form an alloy. The size- and shape-dependent thermal and optical properties of this alloy are investigated in this manuscript by using nano-
Tellurium is present in the Earth's crust only in about 0.001 parts per million. Tellurium minerals include calaverite, sylvanite and tellurite. It is also found uncombined in nature, but only very rarely. It is obtained commercially from the anode muds produced during the electrolytic refining of copper. These contain up to about 8% tellurium.
A method has been developed for the determination of traces of arsenic, boron, bismuth, gallium, germanium, phosphorus, lead, antimony, selenium, silicon and tellurium in nickel matrix. The sample was dissolved in HClO 4 (~150 °C) and nickel was settled as crystalline nickelperchlorate [Ni(ClO 4) 2] on cooling.
Some scholars have focused on the purification method and effects of selenium and tellurium by vacuum distillation. For example, Luo found that the volatilization of impurity tellurium would lead to low-purity selenium and proposed a preoxidation vacuum distillation process. The results showed that through this process, …
a THF suspension of 2 and gray selenium or tellurium in a sealed glass vessel for three days gave the SeF 5 salt 4 and the TeF 5 salt 3 in 91 % and 86 % yield according to
In particular, it was elucidated that heavier multi-chalcogen linkages, selenium-selenium and selenium–tellurium bonds in the benzotrichalcogenoles were present in the five-membered ring by multi-nuclear NMR spectra in solution and confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analyses in the solid-state. The redox properties of the …
Tellurium (Te) is a metalloid and rare element (1-5 ppm estimated abundance) belonging to the chalcogen group (XVI) and p-block of the periodic table that is naturally present in association with ...
The biggest use of selenium is as an additive to glass. Some selenium compounds decolourise glass, while others give a deep red colour. ... He also noted that it was like sulfur and indeed had properties intermediate between sulfur and tellurium. Berzelius found that selenium was present in samples of tellurium and gave that element its ...

The method of determination of antimony, arsenic, selenium and tellurium, by using a sodium borohydride reduction with subsequent atomic fluorescence, was found to be very sensitive. The calibration graphs were linear over a wide range of concentrations and the method was 5–30 times more sensitive than the corresponding atomic-absorption ...

Selenium, similar to sulfur, is added to unalloyed automatic steels as well as to alloyed steels to improve the machining quality. Small amounts of tellurium are added to chilled cast iron since it stabilizes the carbides very effectively [1]. Bismuth, selenium and tellurium may be added to improve the free machining properties of steel [4].
Tellurium has 52 protons in its nucleus, and an atomic weight of 127.6 grams per mole, becoming the fourth element in Group 16, the chalcogen family, also known as the oxygen (O) family, with this element, sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), and the radioactive polonium (Po) belonging to it.
