(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Total mercury (Hg) levels were determined in the tissues of ten taxa of pelagic fishes, with a special emphasis on apex predators (large vertebrates). Highest Hg levels were observed in blue marlin (Makaira nigricans), ...
-
(2015-05-08)Lake Botanisk, a small isolated body of water that was once a part of the moat that surrounded Copenhagen, Denmark, has remained relatively undisturbed for four centuries. Due to this long undisturbed record and restricted ...

Effects of mercury stress on the ecology of culturable heterotrophic bacteria in aquatic microcosms (Texas A&M University. Libraries, )The objective of this research was to study the development of communities of culturable heterotrohic bacterial communities in aquatic microcosms. Natural and gnotobiotic communities of culturable heterotrophs were disrupted ...

(2011-12-06)The hybrid Zero Valent Iron (hZVI) process is a novel chemical treatment platform that has shown great potential in our previous bench-scale tests for removing selenium, mercury and other pollutants from Flue Gas Desulfurization ...
-
(2015-07-27)This research investigated the removal of mercury by Reactive Adsorbent Membrane (RAM) hybrid filtration process to attain high quality water from wastewater or water resources contaminated with Hg(II), while producing ...
-
(2016-04-05)Pyrite has been demonstrated to be an excellent absorbent in removing mercury in many studies. Most of them used natural pyrites that were ground to micro-scale size or even larger. This study investigated methods to produce ...
-
(2011-02-22)The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the ability of novel nanostructured adsorbent media (NTAs, iron sulfides (FeS2 and FeS)) to remove arsenic, selenium and mercury from ash and scrubber pond effluents. The NTAs ...
