  • Influence of Sulfide, Chloride and Dissolved Organic Matter On
    Chen et al. Sustainable Environment Research (2020) 30:22 Sustainable Environment https://doi.org/10.1186/s42834-020-00065-5 Research RESEARCH Open Access Influence of sulfide, chloride and dissolved organic matter on mercury adsorption by activated carbon in aqueous system Chi Chen, Yu Ting, Boon-Lek Ch’ng and Hsing-Cheng Hsi* Abstract Using activated carbon (AC) as thin layer capping to reduce mercury (Hg) released from contaminated sediment is a feasible and durable remediation approach. However, several aqueous factors could greatly affect the Hg fate in the aquatic system. This study thus intends to clarify the influences on Hg adsorption by AC with the presence of sulfide, dissolved organic matter (DOM), and chloride. The lab-scale batch experiments were divided into two parts, including understanding (1) AC adsorption performance and (2) Hg distribution in different phases by operational definition method. Results showed that the Hg adsorption rate by AC was various with the presence of sulfide, chloride, and DOM (from fast to slow). Hg adsorption might be directly bonded to AC with Hg-Cl and Hg-DOM complexes and the rate was mainly controlled by intraparticle diffusion. In contrast, “Hg + sulfide” result was better described by pseudo-second order kinetics. The Hg removal efficiency was 92–95% with the presence of 0–400 mM chloride and approximately 65–75% in the “Hg + sulfide” condition. Among the removed Hg, 24–29% was formed into aqueous-phase particles and about 30% HgwasadsorbedonACwith2–20 μM sulfide. Increasing DOM concentration resulted in more dissolved Hg. The proportion of dissolved Hg increased 31% by increasing DOM concentration from 0.25 to 20 mg C L− 1.

This is a major obstacle for more extensive use of IR technology. Focal plane arrays (FPAs) based on thermal detectors are presently used in staring thermal imagers operating at room temperature. However, their performance is modest; thermal detectors exhibit slow response, and the multispectral detection is difficult to reach. Initial efforts to develop high operating temperature (HOT) photodetectors were focused on HgCdTe photoconductors and photoelectromagnetic detectors. The technological efforts have been lately directed on advanced heterojunction photovoltaic HgCdTe detectors. This paper presents the several approaches to increase the photon-detectors room-temperature performance. Various kinds of materials are considered: HgCdTe, type-II AIIIBV superlattices, two-dimensional materials and colloidal quantum dots.

Due to high quantum efficiency, tunable absorption wavelength, and a wide oper- ating temperature range, HgCdTe (mercury cadmium telluride, MCT)-based infrared focal plane arrays are a good choice for the fabrication of high-performance infrared imaging sys- tems. Creating arrays and matrices of photodetectors with a large number of elements imposes stringent requirements for narrow-band MCT. What is wanted is a large area plate MCT with highly uniform properties and low cost. MCT technology over the past 20 years has evolved from the production of relatively small (diameter ,10 mm) volume bars to large (up to 150 mm in diameter) epitaxial layers on alternative substrates. The electrical properties of solid solutions MCT are largely deter- mined by the intrinsic point defects and residual impurities associated with the growing method. MCT is characterized by a high rate of diffusion of point defects. Therefore, a low growth temperature is need.

  • Mercury Transformation and Release from Contaminated Soil Following Perturbations in Solution Chemistry and Application of Polysulfide
    Mercury Transformation and Release from Contaminated Soil Following Perturbations in Solution Chemistry and Application of Polysulfide by Matthew Corriveau A thesis Presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Matthew Corriveau 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of this thesis, including any final required revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that this thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Mercury (Hg) is a contaminant of concern due to the very high toxicity and bioaccumulating nature of organic Hg and the persistent leaching of Hg to water bodies from contaminated soils and sediments. The deleterious properties of Hg pose challenges for remediation as point source contamination can expand over time to affect much wider areas. Saturated, flow-through column experiments were conducted with riverbank sediment and floodplain soil collected from a contaminated reach of the South River near Waynesboro, VA. In one experiment, the composition of input solutions was varied to observe relationships among mobilized Hg, aqueous parameters and effluent constituents and identify dominant mechanisms and controls on Hg transport. Effluent Hg concentrations increased and remained elevated when a higher pH and alkalinity solution was input to the column. Effluent Hg and DOC concentrations were generally positively correlated. Increased effluent Hg concentrations broadly coincided with increased effluent iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) concentrations and redox (Eh) minima. The lowest effluent Hg concentrations were observed upon decreasing the input solution pH from ~8.7 to ~6, whereas an increase in input pH from ~6 to ~12 coincided with the highest effluent Hg concentrations along with spikes in effluent Fe, Mn and DOC concentrations.
