METHOD TO REMOVE AN AGENT USING A MAGNETIC CARRIER

摘要

The subject of the invention is a process for removal or separation of agents from dynamic process systems, particularly when the agent may be hazardous. Its primary embodiment lies in the removal of mercury from the exhaust from fossil fired heating systems (102), however, it can be seen as also applicable to many other types of separation processes. The process uses a regenerable and recyclable magnetic substrate having a sorbent attached thereto. The combination of the magnetic substrate and sorbent is referred to as a magnetic carrier.
