This contribution presents a novel method for simple and rapid colorimetric detection of Hg(II) and Fe(II) ions in real samples using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The AgNPs were green-synthesized in aqueous solution using γ-irradiated chitosan as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The γ-chitosan stabilized AgNPs were found to be spherical with a diameter of 11.39 ± 2.23 nm. The AgNPs are highly selective for Hg(II) and Fe(II) ions, and when Hg(II) is present in solution, the yellowish AgNPs solution is turned to light yellow, while in the presence of Fe(II) the color of the AgNPs solution is changed to dark brown. The change of solution color is proposed via (i) The reoxidation of Ag(0) in AgNPs to Ag(I) for the Hg(II) detection and (ii) The aggregation of AgNPs in solution for the Fe(II) detection. Under optimal conditions, the method exhibits good linearity from 0.5 to 5.0 ppm (r 2 = 0.9965) for Hg(II) and from 0.05 to 10.0 ppm (r 2 = 0.9994) for Fe(II). The limit of detections (LODs) for Hg(II) and Fe(II) analyses are 0.22 and 0.18 ppm, respectively. Tap waters spiked with both ions show excellent percentage recoveries (93.48–99.53%) with good precision (%RSD < 5%). The developed method was for the first time successfully applied to the assessment of Fe(II) contents in pharmaceutical products, and has potential to be developed as an effective detection kit for assessing Hg(II) and Fe(II) ions in real samples.

We show that hybrid organic–inorganic particles are efficient for accurate sensing of mercury ions and following up trace amounts of the mercury pollutions spread in the environment. The process of synthesis of a working substance starts from preparation of rhodamine 6G derivative. Then the dye molecules are bound on the surface of Au–Pd core–shell nanorods. Mercury ions with different concentrations are finally attached onto this fluorescence sensor. Fluorescence emission of the sensor is detected with a luminescence spectrophotometer. The experimental results demonstrate that the fluorescence intensity of one of our sensors, a sensor B, is remarkably enhanced when the mercury-ion concentration increases from 0 to 15.5 µM. The limit of detection of the ions is as low as 20.6 nM. The working mechanism of our fluorescence sensor can be explained through the fluorescence-energy transfer and the plasmonic effect associated with spirolactam forms of rhodamine and conducting bimetallic nanoparticles.

The effect of mercury on the corrosion of materials used for tubing in oil and gas production wells was studied. Carbon steel (L80) and 13% chromium stainless steel (13Cr) were selected for study by potentiodynamic polarisation. Simulated produced water, with the composition obtained from the Gulf of Thailand field, was used as a corrosive solution. Temperature kinetically increased the corrosion reaction. Chloride ions and carbon dioxide also enhanced the corrosion. Acidity increased the pitting corrosion of 13Cr and increased the corrosion rate of both 13Cr and L80. A concentration of 3-12 ppm of mercury lowered the current density in the passive region and increased the pitting potential of 13Cr. The corrosion rate of L80 was decreased with small amount of mercury addition. The 13Cr showed lower uniform corrosion rate than the L80 in all conditions of the simulated produced water. © 2011 Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining Published by Maney on behalf of the Institute.

The simultaneous separation of arsenic and mercury ions from natural-gas-co-produced water was well achieved by a synergistic extractant through a hollow fiber supported liquid membrane (HFSLM). Aliquat 336, Bromo-PADAP, Cyanex 923 and Cyanex 471 dissolved in toluene were used as the organic extractants or carriers. The transport system was studied on several variables: types of the extractants, concentration of the synergistic extractant, concentration of H<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf> (a co-extractant) in feed solution, types of stripping solutions (NaOH, DI water, HNO<inf>3</inf>, H<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf> and thiourea), and the number of separation cycles. The results indicated the superior performance of mercury removal to arsenic by every single extractant in this study. The synergistic effect on arsenic removal was observed by adding Cyanex 471 in Aliquat 336 resulting in the synergistic coefficient of 2.8. The regulate mercury discharge to the environment not higher than 5ppb was attained within 1-cycle separation by using the mixture of 0.22M Aliquat 336 and 0.06M Cyanex 471 as the synergistic extractant and 0.1M thiourea as the stripping solution with 0.2M H<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf> in feed solution. By 3-cycle separation, 94% arsenic extraction, which was below the legislation limit of 250ppb, was obtained. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Handling produced waters from oil and gas production is an important aspect of making future oil and gas operations more environmentally acceptable since produced waters generally contain trace heavy and toxic metals, radioactive elements and chemicals. This research shows the selective removal of mercury ions (Hg(II)) as HgCl<inf>4</inf>2- from produced water of natural gas well in the Gulf of Thailand, in which the concentrations of arsenic and mercury are high, by using a lab-scale hollow fiber supported liquid membrane (HFSLM). Emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) with different types of extractants and solvents was initially used to select the extractant of high mercury ions selectivity and extractability for the HFSLM system. Tri-n-octylamine (TOA) in toluene was found to be the most suitable extractant. The study parameters were pH of feed solution or produced water, concentration of extractant in liquid membrane, concentration of stripping or recovery solution (sodium hydroxide), volumetric flow rates of feed and stripping solutions, numbers of separation cycles, and stability of HFSLM. The increase in numbers of separation cycles, significantly increased the extraction and stripping of mercury ions. For 300 min at 6-cycle operation, the highest percentages of extraction and stripping of 99.8% and 62%, respectively, were achieved at the pH of feed solution of 2.5, 2% (v/v) TOA, 0.5 M NaOH and 50 ml/min of feed and stripping solutions. Furthermore, the mass transfer coefficients of aqueous phase (k<inf>i</inf>) and organic phase (k<inf>m</inf>) were 0.011 and 0.413 cm/s, respectively. Because the mass transfer coefficient of the organic phase was much higher than that of the aqueous phase implying that the rate controlling step was the diffusion of mercury ions through the film layer between feed solution and liquid membrane. © 2009.

The extraction and recovery or stripping of mercury ions from chloride media using microporous hydrophobic hollow fiber supported liquid membranes (HFSLM) has been studied. Tri-n-octylamine (TOA) dissolved in kerosene was used as an extractant. Sodium hydroxide was used as a stripping solution. The transport system was studied as a function of several variables: the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the feed solution, the concentration of TOA in the liquid membrane, the concentration of sodium hydroxide in the stripping solution, the concentration of mercury ions in the feed solution and the flow rates of both feed and stripping solutions. The results indicated that the maximum percentages of the extraction and recovery of mercury ions of 100% and 97% were achieved at the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the feed solution of 0.1 mol/l, the concentration of TOA at 3% v/v, the concentration of sodium hydroxide at 0.5 mol/l and the flow rates of the feed and stripping solutions of 100 ml/min. However, the concentration of mercury ions from 1-100 ppm in the feed solution had no effect on the percentages of extraction and recovery of mercury ions. Thus, these results have identified that the hollow fiber supported liquid membrane process has high efficiency on both the extraction and recovery of mercury (II) ions. Moreover, the mass transfer coefficients of the aqueous phase (k <inf>i</inf> ) and membrane or organic phase (k <inf>m</inf> ) were calculated. The mass transfer coefficients of the aqueous phase and organic phase are 0.42 and 1.67 cm/s, respectively. The mass transfer coefficient of the organic phase is higher than that of the aqueous phase. Therefore, the mass transfer controlling step is the diffusion of the mercury ions through the film layer between the feed solution and the liquid membrane. © 2008 Springer.

The separation of mercury(II) and arsenic(III) ions from chloride media has been examined through a hollow fiber supported liquid membrane using tri-n-octylamine (TOA) as an extractant dissolved in toluene. The transport system was studied as a function of several variables: the concentration of the hydrochloric acid feed solutions, the concentration of TOA in the liquid membrane, the concentration of sodium hydroxide in the recovery solutions. According to the system, mercury(II) ions were extracted using TOA by rejecting arsenic (III) ions into raffinate because of the different forms of the mercury(II) and arsenic(III) ions in hydrochloric acid solutions. The maximum percentage of recovery for mercury(II) was 95 %; 100 % selectivity was obtained.
