Mercury Analysis

Our analytical laboratory provides identification and quantification of trace levels of mercury in a range of materials. 

Our analytical techniques allow for detection of mercury in the ranges of ppm and ppb. 

We specialise in developing customised analysis procedures for the measurement of mercury to meet specific requirements of our clients. 

We are NATA accredited for analysis of mercury.

Materials tested by our analytical laboratory:

Inorganic samples:  sand, soil, rocks, sediment, fly-ash, deposits, inorganic chemicals, biosolids.
Organic samples:  crude oil, petroleum products, polymers, biomass, coal, coke, carbon, carbon material (e.g. spent cell liner), refuse, sludge.
Aqueous samples:  waste water, condensates, leachates, liquid waste, water treatment chemicals.

HRL Technology can custom design a mercury analysis procedure to meet your needs using a variety of techniques which includes:

• Microwave digestion

• US EPA Method 7470A - Mercury in liquid waste (manual cold-vapor technique)

• AS 1038.10.5:1 - Coal and coke - Analysis and testing -- Coal, coke and fly-ash - Trace elements - Determination of mercury content - Tube combustion method

• Cold vapour atomic absorption, AAS

• ICP: Inductivity Coupled Plasma Spectrometry
