Mercury Volatility in the Presence of Reducing Agents.

DE2001780501

Publication Date	2001
Personal Author	Bibler, J. P.
Page Count	12
Abstract	This document described a laboratory study designed to determine whether mercury is, in fact, reduced by bisulfite ion and ammonia and, if so, whether the reduced mercury is volatilized at the boiling point of water. The primary conclusions resulting from this study are that both bisulfite ion and ammonia are capable of reducing mercury in solution and that, when reduced, the mercury will all be volatilized and carried into the distillate.
