“…It may be related to a significant share of plastics in the analysed RDF sample [27]. Finally, the mercury content was determined since it is an essential environmental indicator as it is toxic and can accumulate in living organisms [28]. The Hg content in the analysed fuel is relatively low, equal to 899 µg/kg.…”

This research aimed to assess the process conditions, temperature and pressure, on the gasification of alternative refuse-derived fuel (RDF) in the atmosphere of steam and carbon dioxide on a laboratory scale using a fixed bed reactor. For this reason, the selected RDF were analysed, including proximate and ultimate analysis, mercury content and ash composition. After that, isothermal gasification measurements using the thermovolumetric method were performed under various temperatures (700, 750, 800, 900 °C) and pressures (0.5, 1, 1.5 MPa), using steam and carbon dioxide as gasifying agents. The obtained results showed that in the entire analysed range, the increase in temperature positively affect both the steam and CO2 gasification of RDF. The formation rates of main components (H2 and/or CO) of the resulting gas, as well as yields of gas components and maximum carbon conversion degrees increase. However, this positive effect was the greater, the lower the process pressure was. In turn, the effect of pressure was more complex. In the case of RDF steam gasification, an increase in pressure had a negative effect on the process, while when using carbon dioxide as a gasifying agent, an improvement of most analysed parameters was observed; however, only at low temperatures, 700–750 °C.

“…This includes the use of mercury in products such as fluorescent lamps, batteries, home paints and dental fillings, which is a human activity. Mercury is often contaminated with raw water used to make tap water, food and cosmetics, which is a long-life cycle of marine fish are eaten and accumulated in fish such as tuna, sharks and king mackerel [12][13][14]. Inorganic mercury has a good ability to dissolve in fat and can bind to proteins in cells well.…”

Sequential injection analysis for mercury ion with modified screen – printed carbon electrode

In this study, we developed a simple high-throughput and cost-effective method for monitoring toxic metal ion in an environmental aqueous sample. Mercury ion determination with Sequential Injection Analysis system (SIAs) coupled with the electrochemical detection on the modified screen-printed carbon working electrode (SPCE) is an alternative green analysis of mercury ion. The gold film was used as the modified material for improved mercury ion analysis in the automated system without memory effect on the electrode. Mercury oxidation signal was found at the potential of 0.7 V in 0.1 M HNO3 and 1.0 M HCl with the concentration low to 0.25 ± 0.18 mg×L-1. Online sample preparation and separation will study in the further experiment.
