Mercury separation
The Mercury Ion process consists of pre-filtration
and mercury ion exchange columns.
Filtering of blowdown water, quench water and mercury separation
The process water to be treated (acidic laundry wastewater or quench water, neutral laundry wastewater) from flue gas cleaning contains mercury, which is removed from the system in the first process stage. The process is based on two phases: pre-filtration of the laundry wastewater, followed by mercury removal via selective ion exchange columns. The pre-filtration of the laundry wastewater significantly improves the mercury removal efficiency of the ion exchanger. Thus, high loading densities can be achieved with selective ion exchange resins. The size of the components used always depends on the amount of wastewater to be treated.
In the process, approx. 98% of the mercury introduced into the waste incineration is removed, thus falling well below the limit values in the wastewater – an environmentally sound process that can be widely used in various branches of industry.
