Scott, S.L., Yusuf, H., Lahoutifard, N. and Maunder, K. (2003) Homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions of atmospheric mercury(II) with sulfur(IV). Journal de Physique IV , 107 (2). pp. 1201-1204. ISSN 1155-4339 doi: 10.1051/jp4:20030516
Abstract/Summary
Atmospheric models suggest that the reduction of Hg(II) to Hg(O) by S(W) prolongs the residence time of mercury. The redox reaction was investigated both in the aqueous phase (where the reductant is sulfite) and on particulate matter (where the reductant in SO2(g)). In both cases, one of the ultimate products is HgS. A mechanism is proposed involving formation of Hg(O) followed by mercury-induced disproportionation of SO2.
