【 摘 要 】

The determination of the physical-chemical mercury speciation in tropical coastal waters using the derivatization technique with CVAFS detection was optimized. This methodology is able to separate the elementary, reactive, organic and total mercury phases with low operational costs. The importance of bromide chloride solution, the diluted aqua regia, used as the oxidative solution, and different compositions of the reductive solution of stannous chloride were tested and the better results for coastal waters are presented. The recuperation of the sum of the different phases ranges from 80 to 94% of the total Hg content in duplicates of different marine samples. The optimized methodology permits important studies on the mercury cycle in the coastal environment.
