Improved determination of gaseous divalent mercury in ambient air using KCl coated denuders

An improved method for the determination of gaseous divalent mercury (GDM) in ambient air using KCl coated denuders has been developed and tested. GDM collected in the KCl coated denuders can be quantitatively desorbed at 450 degrees C in 10 min. After being complete thermally reduced to Hg0 at 900 degrees C, all mercury released from the denuder is pre-concentrated on the analytical Au trap, and detected by cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CVAFS). The absolute detection limit of the method is less than 3 pg. Preliminary data of GDM concentration in ambient air from different sampling stations show that GDM concentrations in the urban air of G?teborg are much higher than in rural air (R?rvik and Sasetta), which indicates the anthropogenic origin of GDM.

The determination of total gaseous mercury in air at background levels

A method is described for the determination of the total gaseous mercury in air at concentrations ranging from ca. 0.1 ng m^-3 to 1μg m^-3. The method is based on the collection of mercury species on gold-coated quartz wool followed by detection with an atomic absorption detector. The collection efficiencies for mercury, dimethylmercury, methyl-mercury(II) chloride, and mercury(II) chloride are nearly quantitative at flow rates up to 10 1 min^-1 and at temperatures up to 50°C. The absolute detection limit of the method is 20 pg of mercury. Under field conditions the precision of the analytical procedure was 14.5% (n=5) for 400-l samples of air and a mercury concentration of 1.5 ng m^-3. Measurements of the mercury distribution in the atmosphere show an ambient background level in clean air masses of 1.0–4.0 ng m^-3.

前人已经报道用汞的冷原子吸收法测定硫化物,利用Hg~(2+)和S~(2-)形成很稳定的化合物,使汞的吸光度值降低,根据其降低的程度来测定硫化物的含量。这种方法简便、灵敏,但对加入的Hg~(2+)量有较大的限制。S_2O_3~(2-)、CN~-、I~-等也有严重干扰,这些离子常与S~(2-)共存于水样中,所以,实际测定时,常需分离这些离子。

Mercury speciation in environmental samples by cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry with in situ preconcentration on a gold trap

A method has been developed for the determination of total and organic mercury in biological materials and sediments. A microwave assisted mineralization of the organic mercury, after its extraction from the matrix, is described. This procedure warrants complete transformation of Hg(II) and, consequently, the quantitative reduction to Hg(0). The conditions for mercury reduction were optimized by a central composite design. The preconcentration of the analyte has been achieved by amalgamation on a trap system, consisting in a pyrolytic graphite platform wound by a gold wire. Mercury was determined by cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry. The method was validated by the analysis of two certified reference materials and applied to the determination of total and organic mercury species in mussel tissues and sediments. The method is simple and practical, and offers the advantage of not requiring special equipment to measure inorganic and organic mercury simultaneously.

Determination of mercury in table salt samples by on-line medium exchange anodic stripping voltammetry

A new method for the determination of traces of total mercury by using a gold film electrode in salt samples was developed. Table salts are known to contain mercury at ultra-trace level as well as a high quantity of chloride ions that cause severe disturbance during the stripping step when gold is used as the electrode material in voltammetric measurements. The interference of high chloride content in the determination of mercury was eliminated by reducing its concentration down to 3 x 10(-3) mol L(-1) level which is optimum for the determination by using on-line medium exchange procedure immediately after the deposition step. The deposition potential applied to the electrode was maintained at 0.2 V (vs. Ag/AgCl double junction electrode) while the cell content was sucked by a pump and replaced with fresh electrolyte simultaneously. The analyte loss resulted from the air contact of the electrode was prevented by this means. The mercury ions present in the salt samples were collected at +0.2 V for 60 s, the electrolyte was replaced by 0.1 mol L(-1) HClO4 and the potential was scanned, attaining a detection limit of 0.17 microg L(-1), with R.S.D. of 1.2% (S/N=3). The recovery of the method was 94.6%. The performance and accuracy of the method was compared with that of atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS). Consequently, this developed method can offer a wide range of application in saline samples.     

Speciation analysis for mercury in gas condensates by capillary gas chromatography with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric detection

A method allowing species-selective determination of atomic mercury, non-polar dialkylated mercury compounds,polar monoalkylated species and inorganic mercury complexes in natural gas condensates was developed. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was employed as a detection method for capillary gas chromatography and compared with microwave induced plasma atomic emission detection for the analysis of hydrocarbon-rich matrices. The method was based on two consecutive injections allowing comprehensive speciation analysis. First a sample aliquot was diluted with toluene and analysed for Hg0 and individual dialkylmercury compounds. Then, another aliquot was butylated with a Grignard reagent for the species specific determination of Hg(II) and monoalkylated mercury species. The detection limits were down to 0.08 pg level.     

Determination of total mercury in workroom air by atomic absorption or x-ray fluorescence spectrometry after collection on carbon-loaded paper

The routine determination of total mercury in workroom air of an alkali chloride electrolysis plant equipped with mercury cells, is described. The procedure is based on atomic absorption spectrometry (a.a.s.) (cold vapour technique) or x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (x.r.f.s.) after collection on carbon-loaded paper fixed in a disposable Millipore filter holder. The lowest quantity of mercury that can be determined is 0.2 μg by a.a.s. and 2 μg by x.r.f.s. Samples taken in the plant gave a relative standard deviation of about 2 % for a.a.s. and 3 % for x.r.f.s.     

Preconcentration and separation of total mercury in environmental samples using chemically modified chloromethylated polystyrene-PAN (ion-exchanger) and its determination by cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry

The use of chemically modified chloromethylated polystyrene-PAN, CMPS-PAN (ion-exchanger) for the preconcentration and separation of total mercury after digestion in preparation for determination by cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CVAAS) was described. The effects on the percentage of recovered mercury by mass change of ion-exchanger, stirring time, pH of the solution samples and eluent concentration were studied. The distribution coefficient K(d) is 10(6.6) ml g(-1). The interfering effects of some foreign ions were described. The metal complex formed between CMPS-PAN ion-exchanger and mercury was characterized by IR spectroscopy, pH-metric titration and thermal analysis. The method is simple and rapidly applicable for the determination of total mercury (ng ml(-1)) in natural water, milk and urine.
