A Potential New Technique for the Determination of Mercury Vapour in Workplace Atmospheres

Research output: Contribution to conference › Poster

Abstract

In this method a halogen lamp, coated in gold by sputtering, is used to adsorb atmospheric mercury via a diffusion gap. Passing current through the fillament drives off the mercury into an inert gas stream into the atom cell of either an atomic fluorescence or atomic absorption system. Excellent sensitivity and reproducibility are obtained.
