Abstract
The disclosure relates to reactive media containing a brominated sorbent that can adsorb environmental pollutants, including mercury, and can prevent or limit the loss of the absorbed pollutant in the presence of a mobile media. Systems, devices and processes that utilize this adsorption and retention in the presence of a flowing media are described.
Claims17
A remediation device for removing environmental pollutants from a mobile media, comprising one or more channels that the mobile media flows through, one or more solid structures proximate to each of the one or more channels, and a reactive media on the each of the one or more solid structures, wherein the reactive media comprises a halogen-containing carbonaceous sorbent.
A process for removing or reducing an environmental pollutant from a mobile media, comprising
- installing a remediation device between a first location and second location,
- wherein the first location contains a higher level of the pollutant than the second location and the mobile phase has the potential to flow or does flow from the first location to the second location;
- wherein the remediation device comprises one or more channels that the mobile phase media flows through, one or more solid structures proximate to each of the one or more channels, and a reactive media on the each of the one or more solid structures,
- wherein the reactive media comprises a halogen-containing carbonaceous sorbent.
