Abstract

The methylmercury-containing wastewater is treated by the porous absorbing photocatalyst. The optimal experiment condition of degradation of CH3-Hg+ is investigated by single-factor experiments. The results show that the best removal efficiency of CH3-Hg+ is about 100% under the following conditions: 60 minutes of UV irradiation, 7.0 of pH, about 168 mW/cm2 of light intensity, without methanol and 10 g/L of porous absorbing photocatalyst. The mechanism of the degradation of mercury-containing wastewater by the porous absorbing photocatalyst is also proposed.
