  • Mercury As Undesirable Substance in Animal Feed1
    The EFSA Journal (2008) 654, 1-76 Mercury as undesirable substance in animal feed1 Scientific opinion of the Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain Question N° EFSA-Q-2005-288 Adopted on 20 February 2008 This opinion, published on 1 December 2008, replaces the earlier version published on 9 April 20082. PANEL MEMBERS Jan Alexander, Guðjón Atli Auðunsson, Diane Benford, Andrew Cockburn, Jean-Pierre Cravedi, Eugenia Dogliotti, Alessandro Di Domenico, Maria Luisa Férnandez-Cruz, Peter Fürst, Johanna Fink-Gremmels, Corrado Lodovico Galli, Philippe Grandjean, Jadwiga Gzyl, Gerhard Heinemeyer, Niklas Johansson, Antonio Mutti, Josef Schlatter, Rolaf van Leeuwen, Carlos Van Peteghem and Philippe Verger. 1 For citation purposes: Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Contaminants in the Food chain on a request from the European Commission on mercury as undesirable substance in feed, The EFSA Journal (2008) 654, 1-76. 2 In chapter 8 on page 50 the CONTAM Panel clarified the derivation of a no-observed-adverse effect level for cats and the possible health effects for these animals in relation to the current EU maximum levels. This clarification now takes into account a 12% water content of the feed material and consequently the respective figure in the conclusion was revised. The changes do not affect the overall conclusions of the opinion. To avoid confusion, the original version of the opinion has been removed from the website, but is available on request as is a version showing all the changes made. Mercury as undesirable substance in animal feed SUMMARY Mercury exists in the environment as elemental mercury (metallic), inorganic mercury and organic mercury (primarily methylmercury).

  • Intracellular Storage of Mercury and Selenium in Different Marine Vertebrates
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 135: 137-143,1996 Published May 17 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Intracellular storage of mercury and selenium in different marine vertebrates Marco ~igro',Claudio ~eonzio~ 'Dipartimento di Biomedicina, Universita degli Studi di Pisa, Via Volta, 4, 1-56126 Pisa, Italy 2Dipartimento di Biologia Ambientale, Universita degli Studi di Siena, Via delle Cerchia, 3, 1-53100 Siena, Italy ABSTRACT: Intracellular storage and levels of mercury and selenium were studied in the livers of top marine predators belong~ngto different vertebrate taxa. Total mercury levels showed very important interspecific variations, ranging from 2.6 pg g.' In tuna and swordfish to several thousand pg g-' (dry weight) in bottle-nosed and Risso's dolphins. However, methylmercury was less variable, ranging from 1 to 174 pg g.' (dry weight). The ratio between Hg and Se levels was close to equimolarity in marine mammals and cormorants, but a large excess of selenium in relation to mercury was observed in fish. Electron microscopy and x-ray microanalysis revealed mineral granules consisting of clustered crys- talline particles in toothed cetaceans, sea llons and cormorants but not in tuna and swordfish. Granules containing mercury and selenium were malnly located in the cytoplasm of macrophages. These results suggest that the blosynthesis of mineral granules containing mercury and selenium in top marine predators is a common feature among these animals and that the existence of elimination pathways for the excretion of organic mercury might Influence the amount of mercury and selenium stored as min- eral granules in a particular species.

Amongst this class of materials, TMDs based on molybdenum, tungsten, sulfur and selenium are particularly attractive due to their semiconducting properties and the availability of bottom-up synthesis techniques. Here we report a method which yields high quality crystals of transition metal diselenide and ditelluride compounds (PtTe2, PdTe2, NiTe2, TaTe2, TiTe2, RuTe2, PtSe2, PdSe2, NbSe2, TiSe2, VSe2, ReSe2) from their solid solutions, via vapor deposition from a metal-saturated chalcogen melt. Additionally, we show the synthesis of rare-earth metal poly- chalcogenides and NbS2 crystals using the aforementioned process. Most of the obtained crystals have a layered CdI2 structure. We have investigated the physical properties of selected crystals and compared them to state-of-the-art findings reported in the literature. Remarkably, the charge density wave transition in 1T-TiSe2 and 2H-NbSe2 crystals is well-defined at TCDW ~ 200 K and ~ 33 K, respectively.

  • Mercury Stabilization Using Thiosulfate Or Selenosulfate
    MERCURY STABILIZATION USING THIOSULFATE OR SELENOSULFATE by Zizheng Zhou B.A.Sc, The University of British Columbia, 2011 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Materials Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April, 2013 © Zizheng Zhou, 2013 ABSTRACT Mercury is often found associated with gold and silver minerals in ore bodies. It is recovered as liquid elemental mercury in several stages including carbon adsorption, carbon elution, electrowinning and retorting. Thus a great amount of mercury is produced as a by-product in gold mines. The Mercury Export Ban Act of 2008 prohibits conveying, selling and distributing elemental mercury by federal agencies in United States. It also bans the export of elemental mercury starting January 1, 2013. As a result, a long-term mercury management plan is required by gold mining companies that generate liquid mercury as a by-product. This thesis will develop a process to effectively convert elemental mercury into much more stable mercury sulfide and mercury selenide for safe disposal. The process consists of 1) extraction of elemental mercury into solution to form aqueous mercury (II) and 2) mercury precipitation as mercury sulfide or mercury selenide. Elemental mercury can be effectively extracted by using hypochlorite solution in acidic environment to form aqueous mercury (II) chloride. The effect of different parameters on the extent and rate of mercury extraction were studied, such as pH, temperature, stirring speed and hypochlorite concentration. Results show that near complete extraction can be achieved within 8 hours by using excess sodium hypochlorite at pH 4 with a fast stirring speed of 1000RPM.
