MERCURY IN AQUEOUS SAMPLES AND EXTRACTS

BY ANODIC STRIPPING VOLTAMMETRY (ASV)

This method is applicable for laboratory determinations of dissolved organic and inorganic divalent mercury ions and compounds (Hg(II)) in drinking water, natural surface water, seawater, in domestic and industrial wastewater, and in aqueous soil extracts. Solid matrices must be solubilized by acid digestion prior to quantitation by ASV.
