The influence of different anions on the stability of mercury in absorbing solutions containing sulphite ions was investigated. The re-emission of gaseous mercury in the presence of fluoride, chloride, bromide, nitrate, carbonate and sulphate ions from the scrubbing solution was determined. Fluoride, chloride and bromide ions contribute to mercury stabilization, bromide being the most efficient...

For the first time, the present study removes ions of mercury, in the form of Hg (I) and Hg (II) ions, from aqueous solutions by adsorbing them onto titanium dioxide nanoparticles. The effects of various parameters, such as solution's initial pH, temperature, sorbent dosage, initial mercury concentration, and contact time have been examined on the adsorption process. The experimental results ha...

The objective of the study was to determine the effect of copper, zinc, cadmium and mercury ions (100, 10 and 1 mg/l) on the activity of some enzymes of carp spermatozoa. Acid phosphatase activity was proved to be relatively insensitive to zinc ions, while copper, mercury and cadmium ions effectively inhibited the activity of this enzyme. Beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity was sensitive only...

In this study, the adsorption of mercury ions by Sargassum bevanom (S. bevanom) by batch method was investigated. The optimum operating parameters such adsorbent dosage, contact time, and pH, were obtained as: a biomass dose of 0.4 g in 100 ml of mercury solution, contact time of 90 mins and pH 7, respectively. Three equations Morris –Weber, Lagergren and pseudo second order are tested to verif...

In this study a new method by Application of graphene oxide Nano sheets– Melamine –TioOxalic acid composite was exhibited as adsorbent for the elimination of toxic mercury (II) ions from aqueous solutions. The combine has the authority to adsorb the organic and inorganic combines. Through the immobilization of Melamine-TioOxalic acid (MTO) onto graphene oxide nanosheets, the desired composite w...

As the electrochemical method, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Stripping Cyclic Voltammetry detection method was designed for measurement and monitoring of adsorbed mercury ions by new modified adsorbent based on mesoporous silica as a new adsorbent. In this respect, SBA-15 as mesoporous silica and 1, 3, 5 Trithiane as effective modifier ligand were chosen, and the modification process was car...

conclusions experimental results showed that mcns is an excellent sorbent for removal of mercury ions from petrochemical waste water. in addition, highly complex matrix of this waste does not affect the adsorption capability of mcns. results an effective hg (ii) removal (99.8%) was obtained at ph 6, with 50 mg of mcns for an initial concentration of this ion in petrochemical waste water (5.63 m...

Mercury is one of the most acutely toxic substances at trace level to human health and living thing. Developing a rapid, cheap and water soluble metal sensor for detecting mercury ions at ppb level remains a challenge. Herein, a metal sensor consisting of MPA coated Mn doped ZnSe/ZnS colloidal nanoparticles was utilized to ultrasensitively and selectively detect Hg(2+) ions with a low detection...

Cyanidation is the main method used to extract gold from gold raw materials; however, a serious problem with this method is the low leaching rate. In order to improve gold leaching, the intensification behavior of mercury ions on gold cyanide leaching, for two types of materials, sulphide gold concentrate and oxide gold ore, was investigated. The results showed that mercury ions, with only a 10...
