Book Description
Mercury contamination enters streams and lakes from a variety of sources. It becomes sorbed onto the sediments where it resides in dynamic equilibrium with the dissolved species in the suprajacent water column. A means must be found to remove mercury from sediments without destroying the environment or otherwise upsetting the ecological balance. The problem of mercury immobilization and removal was addressed by evaluating a number of recoverable sulfur based getter systems. Examples of these are: Elemental sulfur deployed as a coating on a recoverable meshwork, and Thiourea type organic compounds dispersed in a recoverable matrix. In the course of these evaluations several improved getter system combinations became obvious and these were also included into the scope of this research. Only natural sediments and waters were used to prepare test aquaria in order to simulate natural conditions as nearly as possible.

Book Description
The release of toxic mercurials by mercury-enriched river sediments was examined in the laboratory. Tests showed a release of 1 micro g of methylmercury per sq m, per day. Methylmercury occurred in sediments with low and with high organic content, in sediments with low and high cation exchange capacity, and in aerobic and anaerobic sediments. The release of toxic mercury could be prevented by a layer of sand, 6 cm in thickness, applied over the mercury-enriched sediments. Layers of fine or coarse gravel (6 cm deep) were as effective as sand. A slow release of metallic mercury occurred in aerobic sediments. The release was much faster in anaerobic sediments. Using ascorbate as an artificial electron donor, metallic mercury could be released at high rates from aerobic sediments as well. Ascorbate appeared to be a useful indicator of divalent and biologically accessible mercury. The laboratory investigations proved the soundness of the sand blanket approach. Costs are given.
