Deliverable 1.2.10 provides a report on the development of a prototype sensor for atmospheric mercury measurements in ambient air, which will be tested and validated later on in this project employing the GMOS sites. A series of fabrics based on nanofibers of titanium oxide properly functionalised with gold nanoclusters have been prepared, since similar structures exhibit the highest Hg0 removal efficiency (100%) when compared to other nanofibrous systems. We focused in particular on the development of components for a TGM passive sampler including a collection surface, diffusive housing, and an external shield. Important goals for the final product were a system inexpensive to manufacture, simple to analyze, easily shipped and deployed, which could be handled and transported without contamination.

Abstract
Deliverable 1.2.10 provides a report on the development of a prototype sensor for atmospheric mercury measurements in ambient air, which will be tested and validated later on in this project employing the GMOS sites. A series of fabrics based on nanofibers of titanium oxide properly functionalised with gold nanoclusters have been prepared, since similar structures exhibit the highest Hg0 removal efficiency (100%) when compared to other nanofibrous systems. We focused in particular on the development of components for a TGM passive sampler including a collection surface, diffusive housing, and an external shield. Important goals for the final product were a system inexpensive to manufacture, simple to analyze, easily shipped and deployed, which could be handled and transported without contamination.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
