Mercury sulfide (HgS, cinnabar, and metacinnabar) is a major Hg sink, widely available in
various environmental compartments. The formation and dissolution of HgS play a crucial …

Metallurgic calcines with very high mercury and methylmercury content from the Almadén
mining district were analyzed by synchrotron-based microprobe techniques. Information …

Spain has been the main mercury producer worldwide, with mines or mining districts
scattered across its geography. In particular, two main areas show generally higher contents …

Soil samples collected in the surroundings of a chlor-alkali plant in the Netherlands were
characterised by synchrotron-based techniques and conventional analytical procedures, in …

A geochemical study was carried out at the former Abbadia San Salvatore (ASS) mining site
of the Monte Amiata ore district (Italy). Hg, As and Sb total contents and fractionation using a …

Screening of optimal chelating ligands which not only have high capacities to enhance plant
uptake of mercury (Hg) from soil but also can decrease bioavailable Hg concentration in soil …

This is the twenty-second annual review published in JAAS of the application of atomic
spectrometry to the chemical analysis of environmental samples. In the analysis of air, there …

A fundamental step to evaluate the biogeochemical and eco-toxicological significance of Hg
dispersion in the environment is to determine speciation of Hg in solid matrices. In this study …

In this study, the effect of ultrasonic waves on the wax appearance temperature (WAT) of a
crude oil sample was investigated. For this purpose, the crude oil was exposed to ultrasonic …

Direct mercury (Hg) speciation was assessed for soil samples with a Hg concentration
ranging from 7 up to 240 mg kg− 1. Hg chemical forms were identified and quantified by …
