Low cost treatment of wastewater containing mercury salts
Removal of mercury from wastewater is of considerable significance from an environmental point of view. Treatment of wastewater containing mercury salts has been carried out with the help of modified fly-ash bed. The preparation of the bed material has been described. The effects of different parameters such as pH, exchange capacity and the presence of other constituents have been studied. ...

Sulphate reducing bacteria to precipitate mercury after electrokinetic soil remediation
Combined treatment with electroremediation and sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) was tested in laboratory and pilot scale. The contaminated soil came from a chlor-alkali factory and contained about 100 mg/kg Hg. Iodide/iodine complexing agent was used to mobilize mercury. Mercury iodide complexes were moved to the anode solution using an electric field. The anode solution was then mixed with ...

Mercury waste treatment centre - Case study
The Mercury Waste Treatment Centre has been set-up by an oil and gas service company following the high demand of major oil and gas companies for local waste management solutions. Prior to the establishment of the econ supplied waste treatment centre, waste had to be shipped to be finally disposed of 13 000 km from the waste source. This involved complicated and expensive waste notification and ...

10 Pre-Incineration Tips for Medical Waste
Here is a list of 10 useful tips for pre-processing of medical waste to get the best from your waste management process. Segregate wastes at the source to minimize the volume of actual regulated medical waste (RMW). Isolate RMW that must be incinerated; depending on local regulations, at least a small portion of biohazardous waste, including sharps, may have to be incinerated. Include ...

How LEDs Will Change Water Purification
Ultraviolet (UV) light has been naturally purifying water for centuries. With clear skies, our sun can inactivate water-based pathogens in six hours minimum. Cloudy skies or unclear water causes imperfect conditions. These conditions allow for bacteria to grow and make natural water sources unsafe to use. Fortunately, we have developed several types of water disinfection, ranging from chemicals ...
