Elemental mercury and bivalent mercury standard gas generation system and working method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of gaseous mercury monitoring and analysis, and particularly relates to an elemental mercury and bivalent mercury standard gas generation system and a working method thereof.
Background
Mercury is a toxic heavy metal element, and the elemental state of the mercury can be transferred and converted in the global scope, and the mercury stays in the atmosphere for 0.5-2 years, so that serious pollution is caused to ecological environments such as water, atmosphere, soil and the like. In order to reduce mercury pollution and protect human health, a great deal of research work has been carried out on the discharge, migration, conversion, sedimentation and control of mercury and its compounds.
In laboratory studies of mercury and its compounds, elemental mercury standard gas is typically produced using mercury permeation tubes. Although constant temperature water bath heating is adopted to ensure the stability of elemental mercury release, 50% fluctuation of mercury mass concentration still exists. And the mercury permeation tube is expensive, and the risk of leakage of highly toxic substances exists. At present, no permeation tube capable of generating bivalent mercury standard gas exists at home and abroad. Some documents and patents propose methods for generating only bivalent mercury vapor by evaporating a mercuric chloride solution, but related devices have problems of deposition of vaporized bivalent mercury, resulting in great fluctuation of the concentration of the generated bivalent mercury vapor, and only one kind of bivalent mercury gas can be generated by evaporating the mercuric chloride solution.
