Abstract
The reaction of mercury(I) sulphate, mercury(II) sulphate and mercury(II) oxide in pure lithium nitratepotassium nitrate eutectic and in nitrate solutions containing sodium peroxide, monoxide and hydroxide have been studied and stoichiometries derived. The initial major reaction product of mercury sulphates was green schuetteite, HgSO 4 · 2HgO, which was then converted to brown HgO, or with excess peroxide or monoxide to an easily hydrolysed mercurate compound. With low base concentrations yellow-white and grey sublimates containing mercury(I) and nitrate, were formed from mercury sulphates of both oxidation states.
