The experiment selected four areas of Qiqihar, Harbin, Jixi and Hegang Cities in Heilongjiang Province. In each area, a pasture was selected. Five beef cattle from each ranch were collected. At the same time, blood, liver, muscle, kidney, urine and faece of the cattle were collected, as well as drinking water, feed and formula feed from the ranch. The contents of Se and Hg in the collected samples were detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The results showed that the contents of Se in liver, kidney, urine and blood of beef cattle were increased with the increase of Se contents in drinking water, while the contents of Se in muscle tissue and manure were decreased. When the contents of Se in feed increased, the contents of them in muscle, manure and liver of beef cattle were increased frst and then decreased, while the contents of Se in kidney, urine and blood were decreased frst and then increased. When Hg contents in drinking water were increased, the contents of them in beef cattle tissue, blood and manure were increased frst and then decreased, and the contents of Se in urine were increased frst and them decreased. And when Hg contents in feed increased, the contents of Se and Me were also increased. In conclusion, Se and Hg contents in these areas were within the safety standards, meanwhile, the contents of Se and Hg in body tissues of beef cattle were affected to varying degrees by the contents of selenium and mercury in feed.展开更多

The species of mercury were separated by a Venusil MP-C 18 （5μm, 150 mm×4.6 ram） column with the optimized mobile phase containing 5% （w/v） acetonitrile, 0.01 mol/L L-cysteine and 0.06 moL/L ammonium acetate. The tissues of rats were freeze-dried after giving the medicine for 10 d, and then added into the solution containing 10% （w/v） HC1, 1% （w/v） sulfocarbamide and 0.15% （w/v） KC1 for increasing extraction rate. The resolutions of Hg2＋, MeHg and EtHg were 1.5 and 2.9, respectively. The detection limits of Hg2＋, MeHg and EtHg were 2.0, 1.0 and 0.9 ng/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviation （RSD） of inter- and intra-day precisions ranged from 1.56% to 2.86%. The recovery rates of three different adding level were 87%-101% （n=6）, and the RSDs were smaller than 8.2%. The results show that no MeHg and EtHg were detected in rat tissues. Only soluble mercury （Hg2＋） was determined for the mercury species of SHXW in rat tissues.展开更多

It is only necessary to take into consideration the relativistic dependence of the planet's inertial and gravitational masses on its velocity (relative to the Sun) in the conservation equations for energy, and linear and angular momenta in the gravitational field. The physical Problem is reduced to a singular, nonlinear differential equation, which is solved numerically for the planet Mercury. The advance of the perihelion of Mercury is shown to be = 42.087' for a period of 100 years, which is in agreement with the as- tronomical observations and the result (by analytical approximations) of general relativity.展开更多

Additives containing lead, indium or bismuth were added in the electrolyte and zinc powders with corresponding compositions were obtained. The relations between adding amounts of additives and the contents of corresponding compositions in zinc powder are not linear. Aluminum and calcium cannot be co deposited with zinc.

The results show that Hg（II） reacted with equimolar S（ II ） has the lowest remained Hg（II ） concentration （9.7 μg/L） at pH 1.0 and the highest remained concentration （940.8μg/L） at pH 13.0. Meanwhile, the changes of pH values were monitored exactly, which reveal that solution pH values change when mixing the same pH value solutions of HgCI2 and Na2S. In order to explain the phenomena and determine the reaction paths of Hg（II） reacting with S（ II ） in the solution, the concerned thermodynamics was studied. Species of S（ II ）-H2O system and Hg（II）-H2O system at different pH values were calculated, and then the species distribution diagrams of S（II）-H2O system, Hg（ II ）-H2O system and Hg（ II ）-Cl-OH--H20 system were drawn. Combining the experimental data and thermodynamic calculation, the mechanism of Hg（II） reacting with S（II） was deduced. The results indicate that different species of S（ II ） and Hg（II） have the diverse reaction paths to form HgS precipitate at different pH values and the standard Gibbs free energies change （△tGm^⊙） of those equations are also calculated, which can provide a guidance for mercury-containing wastewater treatment with Na2S.展开更多
