Selenate
Selenate can be converted to selenium through a reduction process. This reduction can be achieved through biological means, using bacteria or other microorganisms that are capable of reducing selenate to elemental selenium. Alternatively, a chemical reducing agent such as sodium sulfite or sodium borohydride can be used to convert selenate to selenium.
No, selenium and selenate are not the same. Selenium is a chemical element with atomic number 34, while selenate is the anionic form of selenium usually found in compounds like sodium selenate. Selenate is a common form of selenium used in supplements and as a source of selenium in the environment.
