Abstract
A scrubber for industrial exhaust systems advantageously employs liquid gallium to adsorb vapor phase mercury as well as sub-micron sized particulates such as other trace metal constituents from a hot gas exhaust stream in an industrial exhaust system. The temperature of the liquid gallium is elevated for optimum adsorption efficiency, and subsequently lowered to separate the adsorbed mercury and other species.
