Mercury desorption from contaminated sediments

The effects of pH and ionic strength on the release of Hg from contaminated coastal sediments to water were evaluated in a series of laboratory experiments. Data show that the higher the ionic strength and the pH the smaller is the amount of Hg desorbed into solutions. The effect of the ionic streng...
