Determination of Mercury in Wastewater by Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry

چکیده
consequences of mercury exposure were recognized from prehistory to the present. The first emperor of unified China who came to power in 221 B.C., Qin Shi Huang, reportedly died of ingesting mercury pills that were intended to give him eternal life. The severity of mercury's toxic effects depends on the form and concentration of mercury and the route of exposure. Although its potential for toxicity in highly contaminated areas such as Minamata Bay in Japan is well documented, research has shown that mercury can be a threat to the health of people and wildlife in many environments that are not obviously polluted. There is no safe level of mercury for humans. The main toxic effects of mercury are known to negatively affect the neurological, renal, cardiovascular and immunological systems.

Determination of 137Ba Isotope Abundances in Water Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma-optical Emission Spectrometry Combined with Least-squares Support Vector Machine Regression
A simple and rapid method for the determination of 137Ba isotope abundances in water samples by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) coupled with least-squares support vector machine regression (LS-SVM) is reported. By evaluation of emission lines of barium, it was found that the emission line at 493.408 nm provides the best results for the determination...
متن کاملPart 1. Spectrophotometric determination of trace mercury (II) in dental-unit wastewater and fertilizer samples using the novel reagent 6-hydroxy-3-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylideneamino)-2-thioxo-2H-1,3-thiazin-4(3H)-one and the dual-wavelength beta-correction spectrophotometry.
A simple and low cost method was developed and validated for the determination of trace mercury (II) ions in dental-unit wastewater and fertilizer samples. The method was based upon the reaction of mercury (II) ions with the novel reagent 6-hydroxy-3-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylideneamino)-2-thioxo-2H-1,3-thiazin-4(3H)-one, the formed complex shows an absorption maximum at 505 nm (lambda(max)) in Britton...
متن کاملSelective Separation and Preconcentration of trace Amounts of Gallium in Water and Rice Samples using Cloud Point Extraction and Determination by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry
In the present study a cloud-point extraction process using non-ionic surfactant Triton X-114 for selective extraction of gallium from aqueous solutions was developed. The method is based on the complex formation of Ga (III) with N, N′ -bis (salycilidene)-1, 2-phenylenediamine (salophen) as a chelating agent in buffer media of pH 5. After phase separation and dilution of the surfactant-rich pha...
متن کاملDetermination of mercury in whole blood and urine by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
The conventional method for the determination of mercury in clinical samples is cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry. Sample digestion or pretreatment require large sample volume and long sample preparation time. The inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method developed in this study requires only 100 microL of sample with practically no preparation, except for dilution wi...

متن کاملDetremination of Mercury Isotopic Profile by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry: Possibilities and Limitations
A systematic study on the efficiency of inductively coupled plasma quadruple mass spectrometry (ICP–QMS) in determination of stable mercury isotopes profile has been conducted. Two types of effects have been observed: non-specific, which influenced all mercury isotopes, and specific, which applied only to selected isotopes. Non-specific effects were those, for which the sensitivity depended sig...
