Dear Mahesh.All the sorbents ...

Dear Mahesh.
All the sorbents adsorb elemental mercury through three mechanisms:
- Physic sorption,
- Chemisorption and
- Amalgamation.
- Graphene Oxide used for absorption.
- Activated Carbon used but it is expensive. Sorbent(zeolite, bentonite) can be used OR Nano-structured zinc sulfide (Nano-ZnS)
- S-Zeolite sorbent efficiency comparable with a commercial ACs for Hg capture
The most general used sorbents include activated carbon (ACs)/treated ACs, calcium based sorbents, petroleum coke and zeolites. All of these sorbents capture elemental mercury or catalyse mercury oxidization by means of active surface chemicals.
