Immobilised Cells for Remediation of Mercury
|
Remediation of mercury
Binding capacity, zeolites have a huge surface area to volume ratio allow for high density immobilisation of cells.
Eco-friendly
Inexpensive
Easily transferable
Volume, robust nature of the product and facile techniques allow for ease of scale up
Mercury contaminated soils

A method of binding cells on a bulk natural substrate using a biopolymer. This facilitates delivery of microbial loads to contaminated sites. Cells have mercury volatilising capability and a coconut mat has been produced which captures the mercury gas for subsequent mercury recovery. Immobilizing cells remain viable after prolonged storage.
