Effect of oxygen functional groups on mercury retention in activated carbons

(Corresponding) Sotiropoulou R., Serafidou M., (Corresponding) Skodras G.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

Two commercial activated carbons (F400 and RWE) were tested for their Hg° retention capacity, in order to elucidate shortcomings that still exist, with respect to the oxygen functional groups. The number and the nature of oxygen containing functional groups were altered by heating under H2 at 1100°...Read more

Mercury in Eisenia fetida and soil in the vicinity of a natural gas treatment plant in northern Croatia during the last ten years

(Corresponding) Prevendar Crnić A., Zgorelec Ž., Srebočan E., Kisić I.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

In this study total mercury concentrations in earthworms and in different soil types at the same locations from the surroundings of four boreholes were analyzed by ICP-MS method, as a part of a comprehensive monitoring of the eco-system in the vicinity of the natural gas production and treatment...Read more

A first insight of Hg occurrence in the hellenic volcanic arc

(Corresponding) Anagnostou E., Stathopoulou E., Heimbürger-Boavida L., Nomikou P.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

Mercury is a highly toxic element with both natural and anthropogenic sources to the marine environment, with implications to ecosystems and human health. It is recognized as a priority pollutant by the European Environmental Legislation and the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP). The...Read more
