Abstract
An activated carbon catalyst having sulfur dispersed homogeneously thereon, the sulfur being chemically bonded to the activated carbon. A method of making the catalyst involves forming an intimate mixture of a synthetic carbon precursor and a sulfur-containing material, curing the carbon precursor, carbonizing the carbon precursor, activating the carbonized carbon precursor to produce an activated carbon catalyst having sulfur chemically bonded to said activated carbon and uniformly dispersed thereon.
Claims3
A method of removing mercury from a mercury-containing fluid stream, the method comprising passing the stream over an activated carbon catalyst having sulfur chemically bonded to said activated carbon and uniformly dispersed thereon to cause removal of essentially all of the mercury from the stream.
