How to Greatly Reduce Industrial Mercury Emissions

Chemistry, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Inorganic Chemistry, Science /

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a groundbreaking method to significantly reduce mercury levels in sulphuric acid, a widely used industrial chemical. The method involves ionizing mercury and forming an alloy with another metal through electrochemical processes. An electrode with a platinum surface binds the mercury, creating an alloy that can be safely
