A simple, rapid and accurate method was developed for the determination of total mercury in urine samples . The method uses on-line addition of KMnO4 after adding a bromate-bromide reagent to the sample to decompose organic mercury compounds to inorganic mercury(II) ions at room temperature, and det

β¦ Synopsis
A method was developed for the determmabon of mercury by cold vapour generation electrothermal atonuc absorption spectrometty mth m mtu concentration m a palladmm-coated graphite tube The mercury vapour generated by using NaBH, IS rapidly trapped m the graphite tube, coated with PdCl,, at 250Β°C and atormzed at 2200Β°C The expertmental results show that the trapping efficiency for mercury by PdCl, IS better than that by reduced palladium Redution of PdCl, to palladmm metal gives less favourable mercury trappmg Calibration IS aclueved wtth sunple aqueous solutrons An absolute detection hnut (3~) of 314 pg, correspondmg to a concentration detection hnut of 628 pg I-' for SO-ml samples, 1s obtained The charactenstx mass IS 114 pg The prectsion for ten replicate determmabons IS 2 0% (relattve standard devlabon) at the I-ng level and 18% at the 5-ng level The method was successfully apphed to the determmation of mercury m certified water samples, sea water and waste water The most favourable aspects of the method are its simplicity, high-speed and good reproducxlxhty

The use of several acid mixtures for digestion of marine biological materials with microwaveassisted heating was investigated. The mixtures of HNO 3 -H 2 SO 4 -H 2 O 2 and of HNO 3 -H 2 SO 4 -HCl were most effective after microwave digestion, resulting in complete decomposition of samples. Recoverie
