In situ acid etching boosts mercury accommodation capacities of transition metal sulfides
Nature Communications, 2023 There is an urgent need to develop efficient strategies to remove elemental mercury from industrial flue gases. Here the authors develop a simple, versatile, and scalable strategy to obtain a 100-fold enhancement of the elemental mercury accommodation ...

Behavior of KCl sorbent traps and KCl trapping solutions used for atmospheric mercury speciation: stability and specificity [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2021 Atmospheric mercury speciation is of paramount importance for understanding the behavior of mercury once it is emitted into the atmosphere as gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), gaseous oxidized mercury (GOM) and particulate-bound mercury (PBM). GOM and PBM

Impact of mercury atmospheric deposition on soils and streams in a mountainous catchment (Vosges, France) polluted by chlor-alkali industrial activity: The important trapping role of the organic matter [PDF]
, 2006 Total atmospheric Hg contamination in a French mountainous catchment upstream from a chlor-alkali industrial site was assessed using Hg concentrations in the deepest soil horizon, in the stream bottom sediments, in river waters and in bryophytes.

Enhanced production of oxidised mercury over the tropical Pacific Ocean: a key missing oxidation pathway [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 Mercury is a contaminant of global concern. It is transported in the atmosphere primarily as gaseous elemental mercury, but its reactivity and deposition to the surface environment, through which it enters the aquatic food chain, is greatly enhanced ...

Intraperitoneal Elemental Mercury Exposure from a Mercury-Weighted Bougie [PDF]
Journal of Medical Toxicology, 2013 Significant exposure to elemental mercury can occur if a mercury-weighted medical device is damaged during use. We report a case of an elemental mercury spill into the peritoneum of a patient undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery.A 64-year-old man with multiple comorbidities underwent an elective Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure for the ...

Reduction of Mercury to the Elemental State by a Yeast [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1974 A yeast of the genus Cryptococcus has been isolated from a stream and was shown to be capable of reducing mercury to the elemental state. The organism grows in Wickerham broth supplemented with high concentrations of mercury (II) chloride (180 mg of mercury per liter) and will metabolize [
