Master Thesis in Atmospheric Chemistry on the Oxidation of gaseous elemental Mercury in the Atmosphere

We offer an interesting master thesis in Atmospheric Chemistry, investigating the oxidation of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) using laboratory experiments. Mercury is a top-priority pollutant, and each year anthropogenic activities emit 2000 tons of GEM into the atmosphere. The oxidation of GEM to reactive mercury drives the deposition to the Earth’s surface. However, the exact mechanism of GEM oxidation remains largely unknown. […]
