Effective removal of mercury from aqueous streams via electrochemical alloy formation on platinum

Effective removal of mercury from aqueous streams via electrochemical alloy formation on platinum

Removal of anthropogenic mercury from water streams is of great importance given its high toxicity and ability to spread rapidly. Here, the authors demonstrate the direct alloying of mercury with a fully recyclable platinum electrode, providing effective removal at different concentrations and pH, a...
