A flow injection procedure is described for the determination of Hg2+, based on its non-competitive inhibition of the catalytic effect of alcohol dehydrogenase on the oxidation of ethanol by the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Mercury can be determined within the range 0.5–20 ppm with a relative standard deviation of 1–1.5% and at a sampling rate of 120–150 h–1. Only Ag+ was observed to interfere.
