Stationary source emissions - Sampling and determination of selenium compounds in flue gas
This International Standard describes the method for the sampling and determination of selenium
compounds in both vapour phase and solid phase that are entrained in flue gases carried in stacks or
ducts. The selenium content in flue gas is expressed as a mass concentration of elemental selenium in
the stack gas.
Particulate and gaseous selenium compounds are captured by a filter and an absorber solution,
respectively. The total concentration of selenium compounds in flue gas is expressed as the sum of both
concentrations.
The concentrations of selenium in both samples are determined using inductively coupled plasma
optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
or graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). Hydride generation (HG) techniques
coupled to atomic spectrometry can also be used such as HG-AAS, HG-AFS (atomic fluorescence
spectrometry), HG-ICP-OES and HG-ICP-MS.
The detection limit for gaseous selenium compounds is 0,3 μg/m3 using HG-ICP-MS at a sampling
volume of 0,12 m3. The detection limit for particulate selenium compounds is 0,001 2 μg/m3 using this
technique at a sampling volume of 2,0 m3.

Emisije nepremičnih virov - Vzorčenje in določevanje selenovih spojin v odpadnih plinih
Ta mednarodni standard opisuje metodo za vzorčenje in določevanje selenovih spojin v parni in trdni fazi, ki jih vsebujejo odpadni plini v dimnikih ali ceveh. Vsebnost selena v odpadnem plinu je izražena kot masna koncentracija elementarnega selena v dimnem plinu.
Delci in plinaste selenove spojine so zajete s filtrom oziroma z raztopino absorberja. Skupna koncentracija selenovih spojin v odpadnih plinih je izražena kot vsota obeh koncentracij.
Koncentracije selena v obeh vzorcih določimo z uporabo optične spektrometrije
z induktivno sklopljeno plazmo (ICP-OES), masne spektrometrije z induktivno sklopljeno plazmo (ICP-MS)
ali elektrotermične atomske absorpcijske spektrometrije (GFAAS). Uporabijo se lahko tudi tehnike pridobivanja hidrida (HG)
skupaj z atomsko spektrometrijo, kot so HG-AAS, HG-AFS (atomska fluorescenčna spektrometrija), HG-ICP-OES in HG-ICP-MS.
Meja zaznavnosti plinastih spojin selena je 0,3 μg/m3 z uporabo HG-ICP-MS pri vzorčni
prostornini 0,12 m3. Meja zaznavnosti za delce selenove spojine je 0,001 2 μg/m3 z uporabo te tehnike pri vzorčni prostornini 2,0 m3.

Introduction
Since it is estimated that selenium is exhausted from stationary sources like coal combustion plants, the
investigation of the emission amounts of selenium from the stationary source is increasingly important
for preventing a potential risk.
This International Standard describes a method for the sampling and determination of selenium
compounds in a flue gas passing through ducts or chimneys. Selenium compounds generally exist both
in vapour phase and in solid phase in flue gases, this method allows the determination of both gaseous
and particulate selenium concentrations in flue gases.

5 Principle
Selenium compounds generally exist both in vapour phase and in solid phase in a flue gas. Particulate
and gaseous selenium compounds are captured by a filter and an absorber solution, respectively. The
concentration of selenium in a flue gas is expressed as the sum of both concentrations.
To determine particulate selenium contents in a flue gas, a stack sample gas is taken isokinetically and
particles are collected on a filter in accordance with ISO 9096 or ISO 12141.
To determine gaseous selenium content in a flue gas, a stack sample gas is taken through a filter. Gaseous
selenium compounds that pass through the filter are collected in an absorber solution. Since some
of gaseous selenium compounds, mostly SeO , are adsorbed and in some cases reduced to elemental
2
selenium on the inner surface of a sampling system in the presence of steam and SO , the sampling

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 17211:2015(E)
system components such as the filter housing, heated transfer line and impinger nozzle is rinsed by an
oxidation solution to recover the stuck selenium.
If the flow rates and the total sampling volumes for the measurements of particulate and gaseous
selenium are the same, particulate and gaseous sampling shall be performed simultaneously with an
isokinetic sampling procedure.
Each sample is prepared to be analysed by either ICP-OES, ICP-MS or GFAAS. HG-AAS, HG-AFS, HG-ICP-
OES or HG-ICP-MS may be used if greater analytical sensitivity is required to determine the selenium
concentration.

7 Apparatus
7.1 General.
Two types of absorber systems, a main-stream and a side-stream arrangement, can be employed.
Schematics of both systems are given in Figure 1. In the main-stream system all the sampled flue gas is
passed though the absorber solutions, while in the side-stream arrangement only a part of the sampled
flue gas is passed through the absorber solutions. The main-stream sampling is used if the flow rate
and total sampling volume for the measurements of gaseous and particulate selenium are the same.
The side-stream sampling is used if the flow rate or total sampling volume for the measurements of
gaseous and particulate selenium is different.
If the representative sampling is allowed, particulate selenium and gaseous selenium are sampled
separately using two main stream sampling. Determine a representative sampling point in accordance
with ISO 23210:2009, Annex G. Two sampling nozzles, for particulate selenium and gaseous selenium
respectively, are placed at neighbouring points in which the physicochemical parameters such as
selenium concentration and gas flow rate are considered to be equivalent. Particulate selenium sample
is collected by the filter isokinetically. Gaseous selenium sample is captured in an absorber solution
either isokinetically or anisokinetically after particles are removed.
The apparatus consists of a sampling probe including a nozzle and filter assembly that may be heated
if required, an impinger train containing absorber solution to capture gaseous selenium, a manometer,
a suction pump, a gas meter, and a sample gas volume flow rate measurement system. A thermometer
and manometer shall be included in the sampling train to measure the temperature and pressure of the
metered gas. A barometer shall be used to measure atmospheric pressure during the test in order that
the volume of the gas sampled can be normalized to the standard condition of 273,15 K and 101,325 kPa.

7.2 Nozzle. The diameter shall be chosen to be compatible with the required gas sampling volume
flow rate. The choice of the nozzle shall be in accordance with ISO 9096 or ISO 12141.
The nozzle shall be capable of withstanding the temperature in the duct. It shall be resistant to chemical
attack from various pollutants in the duct. Suitable materials for selenium sampling are silica glass,
PTFE and titanium.
The nozzle shall be cleaned thoroughly before each sample run by rinsing with distilled water. The
rinse shall be repeated until the rinse water shows no evidence of particulate matter.
7.3 Filter and filter housing. The silica fibre filter is placed in the duct between the nozzle and the
transfer line (in-stack filtration). Silica fibre filters without binders are recommended. The filter holder
shall have an airtight seal against leakage. If the flue gas temperature is below the dew point or the filter
housing cannot be inserted in the duct, the filter housing shall be placed outside the duct (out-stack
filtration) in accordance with ISO 9096 or ISO 12141.

NOTE If the out-stack filtration is employed, separation between particulate and gaseous selenium is
difficult and only total selenium can be determined.
The filter shall be capable of withstanding prolonged exposures up to 40 K above the sampling
temperature to prevent a change in filter quality. The filter efficiency shall be better than 99,5 % on a
test aerosol with a mean particle diamete

Introduction
Since it is estimated that selenium is exhausted from stationary sources like coal combustion plants, the
investigation of the emission amounts of selenium from the stationary source is increasingly important
for preventing a potential risk.
This International Standard describes a method for the sampling and determination of selenium
compounds in a flue gas passing through ducts or chimneys. Selenium compounds generally exist both
in vapour phase and in solid phase in flue gases, this method allows the determination of both gaseous
and particulate selenium concentrations in flue gases.

Stationary source emissions — Sampling and
determination of selenium compounds in flue gas
1 Scope
This International Standard describes the method for the sampling and determination of selenium
compounds in both vapour phase and solid phase that are entrained in flue gases carried in stacks or
ducts. The selenium content in flue gas is expressed as a mass concentration of elemental selenium in
the stack gas.
Particulate and gaseous selenium compounds are captured by a filter and an absorber solution,
respectively. The total concentration of selenium compounds in flue gas is expressed as the sum of both
concentrations.
The concentrations of selenium in both samples are determined using inductively coupled plasma
optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
or graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). Hydride generation (HG) techniques
coupled to atomic spectrometry can also be used such as HG-AAS, HG-AFS (atomic fluorescence
spectrometry), HG-ICP-OES and HG-ICP-MS.
3
The detection limit for gaseous selenium compounds is 0,3 μg/m using HG-ICP-MS at a sampling
3 3
volume of 0,12 m . The detection limit for particulate selenium compounds is 0,001 2 μg/m using this
3
technique at a sampling volume of 2,0 m .

5 Principle
Selenium compounds generally exist both in vapour phase and in solid phase in a flue gas. Particulate
and gaseous selenium compounds are captured by a filter and an absorber solution, respectively. The
concentration of selenium in a flue gas is expressed as the sum of both concentrations.
To determine particulate selenium contents in a flue gas, a stack sample gas is taken isokinetically and
particles are collected on a filter in accordance with ISO 9096 or ISO 12141.
To determine gaseous selenium content in a flue gas, a stack sample gas is taken through a filter. Gaseous
selenium compounds that pass through the filter are collected in an absorber solution. Since some
of gaseous selenium compounds, mostly SeO , are adsorbed and in some cases reduced to elemental
2
selenium on the inner surface of a sampling system in the presence of steam and SO , the sampling

system components such as the filter housing, heated transfer line and impinger nozzle is rinsed by an
oxidation solution to recover the stuck selenium.
If the flow rates and the total sampling volumes for the measurements of particulate and gaseous
selenium are the same, particulate and gaseous sampling shall be performed simultaneously with an
isokinetic sampling procedure.
Each sample is prepared to be analysed by either ICP-OES, ICP-MS or GFAAS. HG-AAS, HG-AFS, HG-ICP-
OES or HG-ICP-MS may be used if greater analytical sensitivity is required to determine the selenium
concentration.

7 Apparatus
7.1 General.
Two types of absorber systems, a main-stream and a side-stream arrangement, can be employed.
Schematics of both systems are given in Figure 1. In the main-stream system all the sampled flue gas is
passed though the absorber solutions, while in the side-stream arrangement only a part of the sampled
flue gas is passed through the absorber solutions. The main-stream sampling is used if the flow rate
and total sampling volume for the measurements of gaseous and particulate selenium are the same.
The side-stream sampling is used if the flow rate or total sampling volume for the measurements of
gaseous and particulate selenium is different.
If the representative sampling is allowed, particulate selenium and gaseous selenium are sampled
separately using two main stream sampling. Determine a representative sampling point in accordance
with ISO 23210:2009, Annex G. Two sampling nozzles, for particulate selenium and gaseous selenium
respectively, are placed at neighbouring points in which the physicochemical parameters such as
selenium concentration and gas flow rate are considered to be equivalent. Particulate selenium sample
is collected by the filter isokinetically. Gaseous selenium sample is captured in an absorber solution
either isokinetically or anisokinetically after particles are removed.
The apparatus consists of a sampling probe including a nozzle and filter assembly that may be heated
if required, an impinger train containing absorber solution to capture gaseous selenium, a manometer,
a suction pump, a gas meter, and a sample gas volume flow rate measurement system. A thermometer
and manometer shall be included in the sampling train to measure the temperature and pressure of the
metered gas. A barometer shall be used to measure atmospheric pressure during the test in order that
the volume of the gas sampled can be normalized to the standard condition of 273,15 K and 101,325 kPa.

Introduction
Du fait que l’on estime que du sélénium est émis par les sources fixes telles que les centrales thermiques
alimentées au charbon, il devient de plus en plus important de déterminer les quantités de sélénium
émises par les sources fixes pour prévenir un risque potentiel.
La présente Norme internationale décrit une méthode pour le prélèvement et la détermination des
composés de sélénium dans des effluents gazeux s’échappant de conduits ou de cheminées. En général,
les composés de sélénium existent à la fois en phase gazeuse et en phase solide dans les effluents gazeux.
La présente méthode permet de déterminer les concentrations en sélénium gazeux et particulaire dans
les effluents gazeux.

NORME INTERNATIONALE ISO 17211:2015(F)
Émission des sources fixes — Échantillonnage et
détermination des composés de sélénium dans les
effluents gazeux
1 Domaine d’application
La présente Norme internationale décrit la méthode de prélèvement et de détermination des composés
de sélénium, en phase vapeur et en phase solide, qui sont entraînées dans les effluents gazeux circulant
dans les cheminées ou les conduits. La teneur en sélénium dans un effluent gazeux est exprimée sous
forme de masse de sélénium élémentaire dans le gaz du conduit.
Les composés gazeux et particulaires du sélénium sont respectivement capturés par une solution
d’absorption et un filtre. La concentration totale des composés de sélénium dans l’effluent gazeux est
exprimée comme la somme des deux concentrations.
Les concentrations en sélénium dans les deux échantillons sont déterminées par spectroscopie d’émission
optique avec plasma induit par haute fréquence (ICP-OES), spectrométrie de masse avec plasma à couplage
inductif (ICP-MS) ou spectrométrie d’absorption atomique en four graphite (GFAAS). Les techniques de
génération d’hydrures (HG) couplées à la spectrométrie atomique peuvent également être utilisées, telles
que HG-AAS, HG-AFS (spectrométrie de fluorescence atomique), HG-ICP-OES et HG-ICP-MS.
3
La limite de détection pour les composés de sélénium gazeux sera de 0,3 μg/m en utilisant la technique
3
HG-ICP-MS pour un volume de prélèvement de 0,12 m . La limite de détection pour les composés de
3
sélénium particulaires sera de 0,001 2 μg/m en utilisant la même technique HG-ICP-MS pour un volume
3
de prélèvement de 2,0 m .

5 Principe
En général, les composés de sélénium existent à la fois sous forme gazeuse et sous forme solide dans
un effluent gazeux. Les composés gazeux et particulaires du sélénium sont respectivement capturés
par une solution d’absorption et un filtre. La concentration en sélénium dans un effluent gazeux est
exprimée comme la somme des deux concentrations.
Pour déterminer la teneur en sélénium particulaire dans un effluent gazeux, un échantillon de
gaz est prélevé de façon isocinétique dans un conduit et les particules sont recueillies sur un filtre
conformément à l’ISO 9096 ou à l’ISO 12141.
Pour déterminer la teneur en sélénium gazeux dans un effluent gazeux, un échantillon de gaz est prélevé
dans un conduit et passe à travers un filtre. Les composés gazeux du sélénium qui passent à travers le
filtre sont recueillis dans une solution d’absorption. Dans la mesure où certains composés gazeux du
sélénium, en particulier le dioxyde de sélénium (SeO ), sont adsorbés et, dans la plupart des cas, réduits
2
en sélénium élémentaire sur la surface interne d’un système de prélèvement en présence de vapeur et
de dioxyde de soufre (SO ), les composants du système de prélèvement, c’est-à-dire le support-filtre, la
2
ligne de transfert chauffée et la buse d’impacteur, sont rincés par une solution oxydante pour récupérer
le sélénium qui a adhéré à la surface.
Si les débits et les volumes totaux de prélèvement pour les mesurages du sélénium particulaire et du
sélénium gazeux sont égaux, les deux prélèvements doivent être effectués simultanément selon une
procédure de prélèvement isocinétique.
Chaque échantillon est préparé en vue d’être analysé par ICP-OES, ICP-MS ou GFAAS. Les techniques
HG-AAS, HG-AFS, HG-ICP-OES ou HG-ICP-MS peuvent être utilisées si une sensibilité analytique plus
grande est requise pour déterminer la concentration en sélénium.

7 Appareillage
7.1 Généralités
Deux types de systèmes d’absorption peuvent être employés: un montage avec une ligne sans dérivation
et un montage avec une ligne avec dérivation. Des schémas des deux systèmes sont illustrés à la Figure 1.
Dans le montage sans dérivation, la totalité de l’effluent gazeux prélevé passe dans les solutions
d’absorption, alors que dans le montage avec dérivation, seule une partie de l’effluent gazeux prélevé
passe dans les solutions d’absorption. Le prélèvement dans la ligne sans dérivation est utilisé si le débit
et le volume total de prélèvement pour le mesurage du sélénium gazeux et du sélénium particulaire
sont identiques. Le prélèvement dans la ligne avec dérivation est utilisé si le débit ou le volume total de
prélèvement pour le mesurage du sélénium gazeux et du sélénium particulaire est identique.
Si le prélèvement d’un échantillon représentatif est autorisé, le sélénium particulaire et le sélénium
gazeux sont prélevés séparément en utilisant deux lignes sans dérivation. Déterminer le point de
prélèvement d’un échantillon représentatif conformément à l’ISO 23210:2009, Annexe G. Deux buses de
prélèvement, une pour le sélénium particulaire et l’autre pour le sélénium gazeux, sont placées en des
points voisins où les paramètres physicochimiques,

Introduction
Since it is estimated that selenium is exhausted from stationary sources like coal combustion plants, the
investigation of the emission amounts of selenium from the stationary source is increasingly important
for preventing a potential risk.
This International Standard describes a method for the sampling and determination of selenium
compounds in a flue gas passing through ducts or chimneys. Selenium compounds generally exist both
in vapour phase and in solid phase in flue gases, this method allows the determination of both gaseous
and particulate selenium concentrations in flue gases.

Stationary source emissions — Sampling and
determination of selenium compounds in flue gas
1 Scope
This International Standard describes the method for the sampling and determination of selenium
compounds in both vapour phase and solid phase that are entrained in flue gases carried in stacks or
ducts. The selenium content in flue gas is expressed as a mass concentration of elemental selenium in
the stack gas.
Particulate and gaseous selenium compounds are captured by a filter and an absorber solution,
respectively. The total concentration of selenium compounds in flue gas is expressed as the sum of both
concentrations.
The concentrations of selenium in both samples are determined using inductively coupled plasma
optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
or graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). Hydride generation (HG) techniques
coupled to atomic spectrometry can also be used such as HG-AAS, HG-AFS (atomic fluorescence
spectrometry), HG-ICP-OES and HG-ICP-MS.
3
The detection limit for gaseous selenium compounds is 0,3 μg/m using HG-ICP-MS at a sampling
3 3
volume of 0,12 m . The detection limit for particulate selenium compounds is 0,001 2 μg/m using this
3
technique at a sampling volume of 2,0 m .

5 Principle
Selenium compounds generally exist both in vapour phase and in solid phase in a flue gas. Particulate
and gaseous selenium compounds are captured by a filter and an absorber solution, respectively. The
concentration of selenium in a flue gas is expressed as the sum of both concentrations.
To determine particulate selenium contents in a flue gas, a stack sample gas is taken isokinetically and
particles are collected on a filter in accordance with ISO 9096 or ISO 12141.
To determine gaseous selenium content in a flue gas, a stack sample gas is taken through a filter. Gaseous
selenium compounds that pass through the filter are collected in an absorber solution. Since some
of gaseous selenium compounds, mostly SeO , are adsorbed and in some cases reduced to elemental

system components such as the filter housing, heated transfer line and impinger nozzle is rinsed by an
oxidation solution to recover the stuck selenium.
If the flow rates and the total sampling volumes for the measurements of particulate and gaseous
selenium are the same, particulate and gaseous sampling shall be performed simultaneously with an
isokinetic sampling procedure.
Each sample is prepared to be analysed by either ICP-OES, ICP-MS or GFAAS. HG-AAS, HG-AFS, HG-ICP-
OES or HG-ICP-MS may be used if greater analytical sensitivity is required to determine the selenium
concentration.

7 Apparatus
7.1 General.
Two types of absorber systems, a main-stream and a side-stream arrangement, can be employed.
Schematics of both systems are given in Figure 1. In the main-stream system all the sampled flue gas is
passed though the absorber solutions, while in the side-stream arrangement only a part of the sampled
flue gas is passed through the absorber solutions. The main-stream sampling is used if the flow rate
and total sampling volume for the measurements of gaseous and particulate selenium are the same.
The side-stream sampling is used if the flow rate or total sampling volume for the measurements of
gaseous and particulate selenium is different.
If the representative sampling is allowed, particulate selenium and gaseous selenium are sampled
separately using two main stream sampling. Determine a representative sampling point in accordance
with ISO 23210:2009, Annex G. Two sampling nozzles, for particulate selenium and gaseous selenium
respectively, are placed at neighbouring points in which the physicochemical parameters such as
selenium concentration and gas flow rate are considered to be equivalent. Particulate selenium sample
is collected by the filter isokinetically. Gaseous selenium sample is captured in an absorber solution
either isokinetically or anisokinetically after particles are removed.
The apparatus consists of a sampling probe including a nozzle and filter assembly that may be heated
if required, an impinger train containing absorber solution to capture gaseous selenium, a manometer,
a suction pump, a gas meter, and a sample gas volume flow rate measurement system. A thermometer
and manometer shall be included in the sampling train to measure the temperature and pressure of the
metered gas. A barometer shall be used to measure atmospheric pressure during the test in order that
the volume of the gas sampled can be normalized to the standard condition of 273,15 K and 101,325 kPa.
