摘要
In this paper, the photochemical transformation of divalent mercury ions and methyl-mercury in water solutions was studied under simulated sunlight in a laboratory setting. The results indicated that the Hg2+ in solution can be reduced to Hg-0 under irradiation, which was subsequently released to gaseous phase. Natural organic matter, such as fulvic acid (FA), can influence the reduction of Hg2+. The reduction rate of Hg2+ in the presence of FA was enhanced in the initial period. Methyl-mercury can also be photochemically reduced to gaseous Hg-0. Both the irradiation and FA can greatly accelerate the transformation process in solution. This study was of significance in understanding the transformation of divalent mercury and methyl-mercury at the water-atmosphere interface.
