Abstract
Sorptivity studies with Chelex 100 column indicated chloride to be the best medium for the sorption of mercury. A radiochemical separation p rocedure has been developed for the determination of mercury by neutro n activation analysis utilizing sorption of mercury on Chelex 100. The method was checked with Orchard Leaves and Tuna Fish standards from t he National Institute of Standards and Technology.
