Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009017479A1] A system for use in the removal of heavy metal contaminants from fluid is provided. The system includes a source from which contaminated fluid may be introduced into the system, a first station for removal by physical separation of a targeted heavy metal contaminant from the flow of fluid, including elemental species of the targeted heavy metal contaminant, and a second station positioned downstream of the first station and in fluid communication therewith for adsorptive separation of the targeted heavy metal contaminant from the fluid flow, including additional amount of the elemental species along with the other species of the targeted heavy metal contaminant. A method for removing heavy metal contaminants from fluid is also provided.
