Lab tests and actual projects have shown that granular organoday, bone char (EC-MB), and activated carbon are well suited to remove mercury 2 from water. The organoday EC-199 removes 3 grams mercuric mercury per 100 grams of organoclay, some 3% of organoclay by weight. It also removes organic compounds and helps prevent fouling of the bone char and carbon upstream in the treatment train. The bone char removes 14% by weight of mercury. The activated carbon removes any left over soluble compounds. Powdered organoclay (PT-1E) fixates mercury, preventing its leaching Into groundwater during soil/sediment stabilization projects.
