Zeolite sorbent that effectively removes mercury from flue gases

The measurement and control of mercury (Hg) emissions from utility power plants continue to be the subjects of much study. In a programme funded by the Department of Energy, Physical Sciences Inc (PSI) has developed a Hg sorbent using a zeolite material with a proprietary agent for improved capture...

Summary:The measurement and control of mercury (Hg) emissions from utility power plants continue to be the subjects of much study. In a programme funded by the Department of Energy, Physical Sciences Inc (PSI) has developed a Hg sorbent using a zeolite material with a proprietary agent for improved capture of elemental as well as oxidized Hg. Joseph R Morency, Thomai Panagiotou & Constance L Senior present some promising laboratory results.
