Abstract

This study describes the influence of temp. on two Hg(II)-cysteine modified clay minerals with different layer charges (i.e., montmorillonite and vermiculite) by using chem. and thermal analyses coupled with evolved gas mass spectrometry (TGA-MSEGA), synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) techniques; these two latter techniques were applied on samples heated "in situ" up to 900 °C. Hg bonds cysteine by the thiol group with Hg-SH bond lengths similar in both clay minerals, thus suggesting their independence from layer charge. On the contrary, the thermal behavior of the adsorbed organometallic complexes was strictly layer charge dependent, as evidenced by decompn. temps., which were lower in montmorillonite than in vermiculite. Results from X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy evidenced nearly complete Hg desorption in montmorillonite between 600 and 700 °C, unlike in vermiculite where Hg was still present at these values.
