“…Different reactive materials are available for stabilizing Hg, including activated carbon (AC) (Gilmour et al, 2013;Hilber and Bucheli, 2010;Patmont et al, 2015), zerovalent Fe (Weisener et al, 2005), sulfurized clay (Gibson et al, 2011), sulfate-type cements (Serrano et al, 2012;Serrano et al, 2016), sulfur and iron (Zhong et al, 2018), and biochars (Ahmad et al, 2014;Li et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2016). However, most of the reactive materials are expensive and not practical for large contaminated sites, resulting M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 4 in the need to identify cost-effective materials to control Hg for remediation of large areas.…”
