Acoustic cavitation generates molecular mercury (II) hydroxide, Hg(OH)₂, from biphasic water/mercury mixtures
<p>Emulsification of elemental mercury in aqueous solution in the form of grey particles occurs upon exposure to intense sound fields. We show the concomitant formation of molecular Hg(OH)<sub>2</sub> in the solution phase reaching a saturation limit of 0.24 mM at 25°C. The formati...
