Description Thermal desorption of mercury from the solid phase is a useful method for the study of mercury behaviour in soil, sediments and tailings. The principle of this method consists of sample heating in a regulated flow of inert carrier gas with online detection by AAS, which is commonly used. The desorption of each mercury specie depends on its thermal stability and on the binding intensity in material. The obtained signal is thus the mercury release curve in the observed temperature range.
