Absorption kinetics of mercury (II) chloride into mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) solution

CeO2-Decorated α-MnO2 Nanotubes: A Highly Efficient and Regenerable Sorbent for Elemental Mercury Removal from Natural Gas

“…Decisive actions need to be undertaken to reduce anthropogenic mercury pollution , that poses serious threats to human health and wildlife. , The concentration of mercury in hydrocarbon reservoirs may considerably vary from below 0.01 μg·m –3 to well above 1000 μg·m –3 , , depending on the geological conditions, making detection systems essential for effective mitigation planning. In natural gas, elemental mercury (Hg 0 ), due to its high volatility and low solubility, − is the dominant form. , In the past, catastrophic industrial accidents have been attributed to mercury-induced corrosion of aluminum heat exchangers that are broadly utilized in cryogenic gas plants. , Moreover, mercury present in acid gas removal and dehydration processes may be partially removed and released to the environment, exiting either in the water vapor from the glycol unit − or/and in the acid gas from the amine unit.…”
