Abstract：
:We herein present a novel and sustainable technology for mercury recycling, with the maximum observed uptake capacity. Facile synthesis of the most efficient (~1.9 gg-1) nano-trap, made of montmorillonite-Fe-iron oxides, was performed to instantaneously remove mercury(II) ions from water. Elemental Hg was recovered from the adduct, by employing Fe granules, at ambient conditions. Varied pHs and elevated temperatures further enhanced this already highly efficient recycling process. The reduction of Hg(II) to Hg(I) by the nano trap and Hg(I) to Hg(0) by Fe granules are the main driving forces behind the recycling process. Facile sustainable recycling of the nano-trap and Fe granules require no additional energy. We have further developed a recyclable model for Hg nano-trap, which is inexpensive (<$5 CAD), and can remove mercury in a few seconds. This technology has multiple applications, including in the communities exposed to mercury contamination.
