METHOD OF MAKING A SORBENT COMPRISING VANADIUM AND TIO2 AND METHOD OF REMOVING MERCURY USING SAID SORBENT

摘要

A sorbent composition comprising a vanadium compound and a TiO2 supportmaterial is disclosed. Methods of making and using the composition to remheavy metals or heavy metal containing compounds from a fluid stream are alsoprovided. Such methods are particularly useful in the removal of mercury andmerc compounds from flue gas streams produced from the combustion ofhydrocarbon-containing materials such as coal and petroleum fuels.
