The effects of different parameters, such as stirring time, various metal ions and salts, and the amounts of phenolphthalein, NH4SCN, and EV on the extraction rate of mercury were studied, to select the experimental conditions. Under optimum conditions, mercury can be adsorbed on the surface of microcrystalline phenolphthalein by the intermolecular acdon strength. The possible reaction mechanism for the enrichment of mercury was discussed in detail. Hg（Ⅱ） could be completely separated from Fe（Ⅱ）, Co（Ⅱ）, Ni（Ⅱ）, Mn（Ⅱ）, Cd（Ⅱ）, Cr（Ⅲ）, and Al（Ⅲ） in the solution. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of trace mercury in industrial wastewater with the recoveries above 99%. The relative standard deviation for five replicate determinations of 0.04 μg·mL^-1 of Hg（Ⅱ） was found to be 1.4%, 1.1%, and 1.2%, respectively. The analytical results were very satisfactory.展开更多

The color of films changes from violet to yellow when exposed to gamma radiation. The response of this dosimeter depends up on the concentration of chloral hydrate (CH) in the polymer material. The radiation chemical yield (G-value) of PVA dyed film was calculated and found to increase by increasing concentration of chloral hydrate. Post-irradiation storage on the response of the films are discussed. The overall combined uncertainty (at 2σ) associated with measurement of response (ΔA mm-1) at 600 nm for dose range 1 - 15 kGy is 5.6%.展开更多
