title: [Indirect determination of trace mercury ion by flame AAS].
abstract: In this paper, the method of indirect analysis of trace Hg2+ has been researched. In the HAc-NaAc buffer solution (pH = 5.0), copper can enrich and displace Hg2+ in solution of sample. The calibration curve of Hg2+ and Cu2+ is linear within in the range of 0-0.4 microgram.mL-1 of Hg2+. The trace mercury ion can be indirect determined by FAAS without separation. The recovery is 90%-110%, and the RSD is 3.5%. The method has been used for determining the trace Hg2+ in human hair with satisfactory results. The Hg2+ in solution is determined without any interference of common ions. Thus the method selection is excellent.
