Gold traps are part of standard instrumentation to quantitatively pre-concentrate gaseous elemental mercury, Hg-(g)(0), and are a pre-requisite for atmospheric Hg-(g)(0) analysis. High precision mercury stable isotope ratio analysis by on-line coupling of gold traps to multi collector-inductively coupled plasmamass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) has up to now been problematic due to the transient nature of the signal. We present a new off-line technique, where amalgamated elemental Hg-0 is volatilized from the gold trap in an argon gas stream and temporarily stored in a large volume gas tight syringe. Hg-(g)(0) contained in the syringe is then injected on-line into the MC-ICP-MS interface using a syringe pump at a continuous flow rate and resulting in a steady state Hg signal. Different syringe injection schemes are discussed, as well as matrix effects. The 2SD external precision on an in-house Hg-0 vapor standard was found to be 0.24 parts per thousand for delta Hg-202. The method is illustrated for fumerole Hg-(g)(0) emissions at Vulcano (Italy) with delta(202) Hg of -1.74 parts per thousand relative to NIST SRM 3133.
