Control of mercury and methylmercury in contaminated sediments using biochars: A long-term microcosm study
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)The effectiveness of activated carbon and four types of biochar, switchgrass (300 °C and 600 °C), poultry manure (600 °C), and oak (∼700 °C) with respect to mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) control was assessed in ... -
Performance of Treatment Media for the Stabilization of Mercury under Variable Geochemical Conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-01)Mercury-contaminated sediments are found in many locations throughout North America and the world. Release of Hg from such sediments and subsequent biological uptake can result in biomagnification in associated ecosystems. ...
