To solve problems of environment protection, effective methods for the analytical control of the content of toxic substances, including mercury, are required. Mercury must be preconcentrated because of the low levels of its content in natural waters. One of the effective methods of preconcentration with simultaneous conservation of mercury is the use of chelate-forming sorbents. Sorbents based on silica gel with grafted N,S-containing dithiocarbamate and 2-aminocyclopent-1-enedithiocarbamic acid groups are popular. These sorbents have all the positive properties of the inorganic matrix, while the chelate-forming group grafted onto them ensures selectivity of sorption. The aim of this work was to study the sorption conditions and the subsequent determination of mercury(II) in natural waters using a sorbent based on silichrome, chemically modified by 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (bismuthol I).
