Fast, Cost-effective and Energy Efficient Mercury Removal-Recycling Technology.

We herein present a novel and sustainable technology for mercury recycling, with the maximum observed uptake capacity. Facile synthesis of the most efficient (~1.9 gg) nano-trap, made of montmorillonite-Fe-iron oxides, was performed to instantaneously remove mercury(II) ions from water.

Purely Inorganic Highly Efficient Ice Nucleating Particle.

To evaluate the role of atmospheric heterogeneous reactions on the ice nucleation ability of airborne dust particles, we investigated the systematic study of ice nucleation microphysics with a suite of atmospherically relevant metals (10), halides (4), and oxyhalides (2). Within a minute, a kaolin-iron oxide composite (KaFe) showed efficient reactions with aqueous mercury salts. Among the different mercury salts tested, only HgCl reacting with KaFe generated HgKaFe, a highly efficient ice nucleating particle (HEIN).
