摘要
Mercuric ions (Hg2+) can be extracted from solid samples (cellulose matrix) using methanol modified supercritical CO2 containing the fluorinated chelating agent lithium bis(trifluoroethyl)dithiocarbamate (LiFDDC). Methylmercuric chloride (CH3HgCl) and dimethylmercury [(CH3)2Hg] can be extracted by supercritical CO2 without chelating agent and modifier. The solubility of Hg(FDDC)2 in supercritical CO2 has been determined to be 5 x 10(-3) M at 50-degrees-C and 150 atm, which is about 3 orders of magnitude greater than that of the non-fluorinated analogue Hg(DDC)2. Use of methanol (5%)-modified CO2 further enhances the solubility of Hg(FDDC)2 by a factor of 2.4. A small amount of water added to the sample matrix tends to facilitate the extraction of Hg(FDDC)2 and CH3HgCl. Potential applications of this in situ chelation-supercritical fluid extraction method for the preconcentration of mercury species and treatment of mercury contaminated wastes are discussed.
