Mercury related compounds are released in massive and alarming amounts due to increased human activities such as the processing of hydrocarbons in the petroleum industry. The contamination due to mercury compounds is commonly found in various oxidation forms of mercury species at low levels of concentration. The various methods for determining and separating mercury species have been widely reported. In this review, we reported the comprehensive detection and removal methods for Hg in several phases: specifically, water, oil, and gas. Generally, the detection and measurement methods used depend on the characteristics and the mercury speciation. In addition, innovative technologies for the detection and measurement of mercury speciation are also presented with regard to environmental considerations. This review stands as a comprehensive reference for researchers from both academia and industry to consider for the development of detection and measurement methods that are appropriate and effective.

由于人类活动的增加，例如石油工业中碳氢化合物的加工，与汞有关的化合物大量而令人震惊地释放。汞化合物引起的污染通常以低浓度的汞形式的各种氧化形式发现。已经广泛报道了用于确定和分离汞种类的各种方法。在这篇综述中，我们报告了汞在多个阶段的综合检测和去除方法：特别是水，石油和天然气。通常，所使用的检测和测量方法取决于特性和汞形态。此外，还出于环境考虑，介绍了用于检测和测量汞形态的创新技术。
