Bacterial oxidation of mercury metal vapor, Hg(0).
We used metalloregulated luciferase reporter fusions and spectroscopic quantification of soluble Hg(II) to determine that the hydroperoxidase-catalase, KatG, of Escherichia coli can oxidize monatomic elemental mercury vapor, Hg(0), to the water-soluble, ionic form, Hg(II). A strain with a mutation in katG and a strain overproducing KatG were used to demonstrate that the amount of Hg(II) formed ...
متن کاملEvaluation of sensory evoked potentials in Long Evans rats gestationally exposed to mercury (Hg0) vapor.
Mercury is known to alter neuronal function and has been shown to cross the placental barrier. These experiments were undertaken to examine if gestational exposure to mercury vapor (Hg(0)) would result in alterations in sensory neuronal function in adult offspring. Dams were exposed to 0 or 4 mg/m(3) Hg(0) for 2 h/day from gestational days 6-15. This exposure paradigm has been shown to approxim...
متن کاملThe Hazards of Mercury Vapor
When I decide to tell a wider audience everything about personal troubles, which in themselves do not concern others and therefore should not be worth publishing, it is because of an intense wish to spare others, who have anything to do with metallic mercury, the very bad experiences which have destroyed a major part of my life and to very emphatically warn against the volatile metal. I can fre...
متن کاملRole of moisture in adsorption, photocatalytic oxidation, and reemission of elemental mercury on a SiO2-TiO2 nanocomposite.
A novel silica-titania (SiO2-TiO2) nanocomposite has been developed to effectively capture elemental mercury (Hg0) under UV irradiation. Moisture has been reported to have an important impact on this nanocomposite's performance. In this work, the role of moisture on Hg0 removal and reemission as well as the corresponding mechanisms was investigated. Hg0 removal experiments were carried out in a...
متن کاملSulfur Impregnation on Activated Carbon Fibers through H2S Oxidation for Vapor Phase Mercury Removal
Sulfur was impregnated onto activated carbon fibers ACFs through H2S oxidation catalyzed by the sorbent surface in a fixed-bed reactor. By changing the temperature and duration of the sulfur impregnation process, ACFs with different sulfur contents were developed. Characterization of ACFs before and after sulfur impregnation was conducted by surface area analysis, energy dispersive X-ray analys...
