Purification of Mercury Metal (open access)

Purification of Mercury Metal

Mercury to be used in polarography as a dropping mercury electrode must be of the highest purity. The author has found that much of the commercial "triple-distilled" mercury as well as that which is repurified on site is not sufficiently pure and because of this, a study of mercury purification techniques was made and a very satisfactory procedure was tested thoroughly. This procedure is described in detail in this report.
