Interactions between mercury and dissolved organic matter––a review

- Vol. 55, Iss: 3, pp 319-331
TLDR
The ability of organic matter to enhance the dissolution and inhibit the precipitation of mercuric sulfide, a highly insoluble solid, suggests that DOM competes with sulfide for mercury binding, confirmed by very high conditional stability constants for mercury-organic sulfur (RSHg+) complexes (10(25)-10(32)) recently reported in literature.
