Abstract:
This study aimed at extracting the adsorbed mercury from the mercury-loaded activated carbon so as to recycling both, the elemental mercury and the carbon, after being reactivated. The process used in this study was the electro-oxidation of the mercury in a reaction system where the loaded carbon is acting as an anode, during the electrolysis of brine, the electrolyte of the cell.
