Development and application of an analytical technique for the determination of methylmercury compounds in environmental samples based on isolation by distillation, followed by purge-and-trap sample concentration and GC/MS separation and detection, after aqueous phase ethylation with sodium tetraethylborate

Abstract:

An analytical technique has been developed for the determination of methylmercury compounds in environmental samples. The technique is based on a two-stage procedure. In the first stage, methylmercury compounds are isolated from the sample matrix as methylmercury chloride (MeRgCl) by distillation. The distillation procedure is based on a series of...
