Mercury Removal from Wastewater

Sorbster® Hg-1 media is functionalized, enriched alumina media that covalently bonds soluble metals and trace contaminants to its active sites. Sorbster® Hg-1 has a very high proficiency for the rapid removal of soluble ionic mercury from all water streams.

Sorbster® Hg-1 adsorbent media is optimized for removal of Mercury from wastewater.

Sorbster® Hg-1 is a functionalized, enriched alumina media that
covalently bonds soluble mercury and other trace contaminants to
its active sites.

Sorbster® Hg-1 is used to achieve low mercury concentrations in wastewater from industrial processes and groundwater.

Features and Benefits

• Active and diverse chemistry, high surface area and a high macroporosity allow media to selectively capture and chemisorb mercury

• Uniformly active throughout the media, resulting in excellent chemisorption and ultra-low-level discharge concentration

• Has a mercury adsorption capacity up to 75 percent its weight, minimizing change-outs

• Constant chemisorption kinetics across a wide variety of applications and water qualities, minimizing multiple process steps

• Required contact time is 50 percent less than competing media, resulting in a smaller equipment footprint and low capex

• May be used as a polishing media where existing solutions cannot perform to new permit requirements

• Effective over a broad temperature range up to 200°F

• Does not support bacteria growth

• Media passes EPA TCLP test and allows for nonhazardous disposal options, lower/eliminating “hidden” costs.
