Mercury Removal Techniques for Industrial Waste Water
The current work focuses on rephrasing the harmful
effects of mercury that is being released from a number of sources.
Most of the sources are from the industrial waste water. Different
techniques of mercury removal have been discussed and a brief
comparison among these has been made. The experimental work has
been conducted for two most widely used methods of mercury
removal and comparison in terms of their efficiency has been made.
