Design of chemically treated activated carbon fibers for mercury removal and advanced membranes for water purification
… chemically treated activated carbon fibers for mercury removal from power plant effluents, and the other one is to design advanced nanofiltration membranes for water purification with specific features, i.e. solvent resistance and antifouling properties. The current technologies for mercury …

Thermodynamic and Kinetic Study of Carbon Dioxide and Mercury Removal from Flue Gas in Coal Combustion Power Plants
<p>Carbon dioxide and mercury from anthropogenic emissions pose a significant threat to our environment and human health. Removal from their major source – coal-fired power plants – is one of the most effective approaches to control their emissions. Thermodynamics and kinetics are critical to the …

The potential of immobilied algal cell systems for the removal of mercury from aqueous solution
… use of immobilized Chiorella ernersonii for the removal of inorganic mercury from aqueous solution in batch and continuous-flow processes was inyestigated. Initial experiments showed that HgCl2 added to growth mediun. at I mgg -I r did not markedly affect the growth of non-immobilized Chiorella …

Investigation of constructed wetlands capability to remove mercury from contaminated waters
… (c) acidic; and (d) agricultural wastewater. Mercury has been used intensively by wide variety of industries because of its unique properties. Consequently, it was present at various levels in wastewater discharged. The ability of constructed wetlands to serve as a sink of mercury before …

Syntheses, Structures and Properties of Metal-Organic Frameworks
<p>Mercury is one of the most serious heavy metal pollution sources that threaten people’s health. For decades, people have developed many technologies and materials to capture mercury from flue gas of coal-fired plant. Currently, the most effective material for mercury absorption is powdered …

The separation of ionic and organic mercury from water using milk proteins, xanthates and keratin
The interaction and removal of divalent mercury, monomethyl mercury and dimethyl mercury from water solutions with milk proteins, xanthates, and structural proteins have been investigated. Milk proteins, including lactalbumin, casein, whey and whole milk were tested in concentrations of one part …

Modelling the distribution of mercury in oil and gas processing facilities
Mercury is not only considered a toxic pollutant in the environment but also a corrosive element in processing equipment. The presence of mercury in oil and gas can increase the exposure risk to field operators and can cause serious corrosion problems. Furthermore,it may cause catalyst poisoning …

Mercury species in natural gas condensate
The presence of ultra-trace levels of mercury in industrial gas and condensate streams is a cause of both environmental and production concern. The toxic nature of the element, in all forms, together with its ability to shut-down large processing plants dictates a need for its accurate and precise …

Fine Particle and Mercury Formation and Control during Coal Combustion
… including particulate matter (fly ash) and mercury (Hg), into the atmosphere. This dissertation investigated three aspects of pollutant formation and control from the coal combustion process: (1) organic aerosol formation during coal combustion, (2) mercury removal during coal combustion by …
