Synthetic Material Absorbs Mercury In Wastewater

摘要

Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a highly porous material that demonstrates a remarkable ability to capture mercury in wastewater solutions. Using earlier research as a springboard, scientists at the Richland, Washington, facility are looking to SAMMS (self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports) technology in an effort to address the nation's continuing problem with mercury emissions.
