Abstract
The acidic reduction of Hg using a continuous-flow analytical system was evaluated. With 25% SnCl2 as the reductant, characteristic concentrations (sensitivities) of 0.44 microgram/L (open cell) and 0.29 microgram/L (flow-through cell) were obtained using inorganic Hg2+ standards in 1.5% HCl. When CH3Hg+ standards were used, absorption signals were an order of magnitude lower, indicating that Sn(II) is incapable of producing Hg degree from organic Hg in this acidic reduction system. Addition of CdCl2 to the SnCl2 reductant, as suggested by Magos (1) for the reduction of organomercurials under alkaline conditions, was without beneficial effect. Similarly, combining Sn with another reducing agent (hydroxylamine hydrochloride), or a strong alkaline solution (40% NaOH), in the reaction coil of the flow-through system did not significantly enhance the Hg absorption signal for either inorganic or organic Hg. Recovery of Hg from spiked liver homogenates digested at 70-80 degrees C using a HNO3/H2SO4/HCl procedure and stabilized with 0.5 mM K2Cr2O7 was > 85% using either inorganic Hg2+ or CH3Hg+, indicating that this digestion procedure successfully breaks the C-Hg bond to form readily reducible Hg species. Using L-cysteine to stabiliz...Continue Reading
