Abstract
Magnetic activated carbon and the removal of contaminants from a fluid stream using the magnetic activated carbon is described. The magnetic activated carbon is preferably magnetic powdered activated carbon and may contain titania. The magnetic activated carbon may be used to remove contaminants such as mercury from fluid streams including flue gases from a combustion plant.
Claims28
A method for removing a contaminant from a fluid stream, comprising contacting the fluid stream with a composite of activated carbon and a magnetic material whereby the contaminant is adsorbed on the magnetized activated carbon, and removing the magnetized activated carbon having the contaminant adsorbed thereon from the fluid stream,
- wherein the magnetic material is implanted onto and in the pores of the activated carbon.
A composite, comprising activated carbon and a magnetic material, wherein the magnetic material is implanted onto and in the pores of the activated carbon.
