| Abstract: | A simple method for the determination of total mercury in waste waters is described. It makes use of a flow system incorporating
a wall-jet cell equipped with a gold working electrode. The untreated sample is mixed on-line with the acidic carrier electrolyte
which contains potassium permanganate and transforms the various species of mercury, especially elementary Hg, to Hg(II).
The pre-treated solution enters the cell where mercury is deposited on the gold electrode. In the next step the deposit is
stripped at constant current and the time corresponding to the dissolution of the deposit is obtained from the chronopotentiometric
signal. The method enables it to determine and monitor Hg in the concentration range of 1 to 1000 μg/L in 5 min intervals.
