THE OXIDATION OF MERCURY BY NITRIC ACID

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4341458· OSTI ID:4341458
The oxidation of Hg in HNC/sub 3/ was investigated. An empirical rate law, oxidation rates, and Hg species in solution were determined. A reaction mechanism based on the presence of nitrous acid can be interpreted in terms of the rate expression derived. (auth)
