The invention discloses a method for detecting methyl mercury, ethyl mercury and
inorganic mercury in water of an
aquaculture pond. The method comprises the following steps: adding CH2Cl2 into a sample, carrying out vortex shake and
centrifugation, taking out a sedimentary phase, adding L-
cysteine into the sedimentary phase, extracting, centrifuging, and then removing supernatant liquid to obtain the sample to be detected; preparing the sample to be detected into 2-20 micrograms / L of liquid to be detected, and then detecting by a
high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-cold vapor generation
atomic fluorescence system. The method adopts a vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction way to carry out pretreatment on the
aquaculture pond
water sample for the first time, thus solving the problems that the sample matrix is complicated, interference is serious, the method is lack of sensitivity, and the like; HPLC separation and
sequential injection-cold vapor generation
atomic fluorescence system (SI-CVAFS) sample introduction are utilized, so that the method fills into the blank of analyzing the methyl mercury, the ethyl mercury and the
inorganic mercury in water of the
aquaculture pond at the same time; the method has the characteristics of being simple and rapid in operation, low in cost, environment-friendly, efficient, high in enrichment efficiency, remarkable in
interference resistance, high in precision and accuracy, low in
detection limit, and the like.
