mercury sulfide

Mercury sulfide is used as a red pigment.

On Earth, geological deposits are most often found in the form of cinnabar, a mercury sulfide mineral.

The name originated from the neurological effects suffered by miners who worked the area's cinnabar (mercury sulfide) mine.

Metacinnabar is the cubic form of mercury sulfide (HgS).

That's the case with many of Pompeii's wall paintings, particularly those made with cinnabar, a deep red pigment containing mercury sulfide.

For example, the mineral cinnabar (HgS, mercury sulfide) is the colour of cinnamon and looks like cinnamon-sugar.

They discovered that the paint contained pigments such as vermilion (red mercury sulfide) and lead white (lead carbonate).

Both the Chinese and the Mongols believed that cinnbar and mercury sulfide were the exilir to life.

Cinnabar (Mercury sulfide)

For example, mercury sulfide forms when mercuric salts in aqueous solution are treated with thiourea:

The cadmium pigments eventually replaced compounds such as mercury sulfide (the original vermilion) with greatly improved light-fastness.

Corderoite is an extremely rare mercury sulfide chloride mineral with formula HgSCl.

Sublimation and the preparation of a mercury sulfide are also in use in the preparation of its materia medica.

"Without the organic matter, the mercury sulfide nanoparticles would grow too large and become insoluble, thus reducing the availability of mercury for microbial methylation."

In addition, a third ink on the scrolls that was red in color was found to be made with cinnabar (HgS, mercury sulfide).

Idrija is one of the few places in the world where mercury occurs in both its elemental liquid state and as cinnabar (mercury sulfide) ore.

Vermilion is the purified and powdered form of cinnabar, which is the chief form in which mercury sulfide naturally occurs.

The cinnabar ore, known also as mercury sulfide (84 parts mercury to 16 parts sulfur), was treated in furnaces and retorts near the mine.

Cinnabar (mercury sulfide) occurs in many of the placer mines in this district, most notably at Cinnabar Creek.

The resin of Dracaena species, "true" dragon's blood, and the very poisonous mineral cinnabar (mercury sulfide) were often confused by the ancient Romans.

The roasting of sulfide ores such as pyrite, sphalerite, and cinnabar (mercury sulfide) also releases SO:

Mercury(II) sulfide, also known as cinnabar, mercuric sulfide, and mercury sulfide, is a chemical compound.

Art preservationists have been uncertain why the degradation occurs, but have suspected that sunlight causes the mercury sulfide to change crystalline phases, to a form called metacinnabar.

There was a little pouch of powdered mercury sulfide, which no one in their right mind would give anyone, and a packet of foxglove, which was almost as bad.

One way to avoid releasing mercury into the environment is to combine it with sulfur to form mercury sulfide, which will prevent vapor release and is insoluble in water.
