✦ Synopsis

Akzo Zout Chemie has developed a process for the removal of mercury from waste water, primarily in order to have a definite solution to the waste water problems of its own chlor-alkali plants. The Akzo process guarantees a very low concentration of mercury in the effluent even under strongly fluctuating conditions. The secondary pollution problems generated are extremely small compared with those in other processes. The mercury_js efficiently recycled into the process. The process is competitive with other processes for the removal of mercury from waste water.
