Abstract: | A radiochemical displacement method for the determination of micro amounts of Hg(II) has been developed. 65Zn was displaced from the Zn-1-(2-pyridylazo-2-naphthol) complex at pH 5 in borate buffers by Hg (II). 10-80 micrograms of mercury could be determined. Interference of various metal ions and methods for suppression have also been carried out. |
