Impact/Purpose:
to inform the public
Description:
A series of laboratory tests and an on-site pilot scale demonstration of Bio-Recovery Systems' AlgaSORB technology for the removal and recovery of mercury-contaminated groundwater were conducted under the SITE program. ptimum conditions were determined for mercury binding to AlgaSORB. onditions under which mercury could be stripped from AlgaSORB were developed. n-site, pilot scale demonstrations with a portable waste treatment system incorporating columns containing two different AlgaSORB preparations confirmed laboratory tests. ver 500 bed volumes of mercury-contaminated groundwater could be successfully treated before regeneration.of the system was required. Mercury was removed to levels below the discharge limit of 10 ug/L.
