| Abstract Scope |
Selenium and tellurium are semiconductors, and their compounds are similar. Both are chemically closely related, but selenium and tellurium behave somewhat differently. Tellurium forms inorganic and organic compounds which are superficially similar to the corresponding selenium compounds, and yet dissimilar in properties and behavior. The first part of this paper describes differences of selenium and tellurium in their chemical reactions of the research work. A second part of the paper presents the applications of selenium and tellurium recovery processes that are always hot topics in today’s extractive metallurgy field. |
