Abstract: | Abiotic parameters (pH, temperature, current velocity, mercury species concentration, and sediment and aqueous media composition) influence mercury species (MeHg+, EtHg+, PhHg+ and inorganic Hg2+) adsorption on river sediments. The highest amount of adsorbed MeHg+ and EtHg+ (82-93% and 85-91% for static and agitated system, respectively) occurred at pH 3-4. For PhHg+ the maximum adsorption (90% and 95% for static and agitated systems) was located over the broad 3-10 pH range, while for Hg2+ (94% and 97% for static and agitated systems) it was at pH ~ 3. Temperature (4.5-60°C) influenced the adsorption rate but not the quantity. Both rate and quantity increased in the order: static < agitated ? stirred systems. The aqueous medium composition affected both rate and quantity. Sulfate caused the largest adsorption decrease for organomercury species (15-25% decrease) | ||||||||||
