- Title
Sorbent Management of Mercury Water Pollution.

Singh, R. P.
- Abstract
Mercury pollution is a growing problem worldwide incurring high environmental costs. Sorption is an important management strategy for this problem. The present study was undertaken to a develop multipurpose, low cost, rapid sorbent for treatment of water contaminated with mercury. The synthesized mesoporous material was found a better sorbent than a conventional sorbent. Its different modifications and combinations are expected to enhance sorption capacity for almost complete removal of mercury from water. Modified mesoporous sorbents have comparable sorptive capacities to resins. They are easy to be cut, milled or ground, and can be used as cartridges for filtering processes. They are highly porous materials which can be used as sorbents not only for mercury but also for other heavy metals.
