Mercury Vapor Removal

About this product

Mercury remains trapped underground within fossil fuels for hundreds of millions of years. However, when coal and oil are burned, mercury is released into the atmosphere, posing serious environmental and health risks. Coal-based electricity generation is a significant source of mercury vapor emissions, and due to its Neurotoxicity, Mercury can easily cross the blood-brain barrier, leading to severe health concerns.

Activated carbon is widely used in fluorescent light recycling and coal-fired power plants to capture mercury emissions from exhaust air streams effectively. Additionally, mercury is released into the gas phase during the roasting of gold ores and concentrates, requiring efficient capture and control.

Haycarb has developed advanced impregnated and non-impregnated granular activated carbon (GAC) and powdered activated carbon (PAC) products to address these challenges and meet the growing global demand for specialized carbon solutions. These high-performance carbons effectively control mercury vapor in various industrial applications, ensuring compliance with stringent mercury and air toxins regulations.
