Method of reducing a level of metallic species contamination of a fluid

A method of reducing a level of metallic species contamination of a fluid, the method comprising:

• selecting a sorption media comprising a sulfate species chemically bonded to a support substrate for contacting the fluid from a plurality of sorption medias based on the metallic species contamination comprising at least one inorganic mercury species;
• and
• contacting the fluid including the metallic species contamination with the selected sorption media.

A method of reducing a level of metallic species contamination of a fluid, the method comprising:

• selecting a sorption media comprising a sulfate species and a sulfide species chemically bonded to a support substrate for contacting the fluid from a plurality of sorption medias based on the metallic species contamination comprising at least one inorganic mercury species and at least one ionic mercury species;
• and contacting the fluid including the metallic species contamination with the selected sorption media.

A method of reducing a level of metallic species contamination of a fluid, the method comprising:

• selecting at least a first sorption media including a sulfate species chemically bonded to a first support substrate and a second sorption media including a sulfide species chemically bonded to a second support substrate for contacting the fluid from a plurality of sorption medias based on the metallic species contamination comprising at least one inorganic mercury species and at least one ionic mercury species;
• and
• contacting the fluid including the metallic species contamination with the selected sorption medias.

A method of reducing a level of metallic species contamination of a fluid, the method comprising:

• contacting the fluid including the metallic species contamination with a sorption media, wherein the sorption media comprises a sulfur species chemically bonded to a support substrate and wherein at least a portion of the sorption media is incorporated into a clay liner material.
