Abstract:
Methods of preparing a mercury sorbent material are provided. The methods comprise making a copper/clay mixture by admixing a dry clay and a dry copper source; making a sulfur/clay mixture by admixing a dry clay and a dry sulfur source; admixing the copper/clay mixture and the sulfur/clay mixture, to form a mercury sorbent pre-mixture; and shearing the mercury sorbent pre-mixture to form the mercury sorbent material. Various substrates may be used with or instead of the clay, and various additives may be added to the copper, sulfur, clay, or mixture thereof.

Claim (Index 20):
The mercury sorbent material of  claim 19 , wherein if the first clay is present, the first clay comprises bentonite, montmorillonite, hectorite, beidellite, saponite, nontronite, volkonskoite, sauconite, stevensite, fluorohectorite, laponite, rectonite, vermiculite, illite, a micaceous mineral, makatite, kanemite, octasilicate (illierite), magadiite, kenyaite, attapulgite, palygorskite, sepoilite, or a mixture thereof;\n wherein the dry copper source comprises copper acetate, copper acetylacetonate, copper bromide, copper carbonate, copper chloride, copper chromate, copper ethylhexanoate, copper formate, copper gluconate, copper hydroxide, copper iodide, copper molybdate, copper nitrate, copper oxide, copper perchlorate, copper pyrophosphate, copper selenide, copper sulfate, copper telluride, copper tetrafluoroborate, copper thiocyanate, copper triflate, copper alloy, or a mixture thereof; and/or one or more copper compound hydrates with the copper compound of the copper compound hydrate being copper acetate, copper acetylacetonate, copper bromide, copper carbonate, copper chloride, copper chromate, copper ethylhexanoate, copper formate, copper gluconate, copper hydroxide, copper iodide, copper molybdate, copper nitrate, copper oxide, copper perchlorate, copper pyrophosphate, copper selenide, copper sulfate, copper telluride, copper tetrafluoroborate, copper thiocyanate, copper triflate, copper alloy, or a mixture thereof; and wherein if the first sulfur source is present, the first sulfur source comprises sodium sulfide, sodium sulfide trihydrate, sodium sulfide nonahydrate, sodium disulfide, sodium polysulfide, ammonium sulfide, ammonium disulfide, ammodium polysulfide, potassium sulfide, potassium disulfide, potassium polysulfide, calcium polysulfide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen disulfide, aluminum sulfide, magnesium sulfide, thiolacetic acid, thiobenzoic acid, or a mixture thereof.
