TLDR
In this paper, different iron oxides supported on an activated carbon were prepared and tested for the removal of elemental mercury (Hg 0 ), and the results obtained with the sorbent loaded with maghemite open new perspectives for the retention of gaseous Hg 0, combining high efficiency, good regenerability and lower price in comparison with sorbents developed to date.About:

Unconventional gas - A review of regional and global resource estimates
TL;DR: The authors assesses the currently available evidence on the size of unconventional gas resources at both the regional and global level and concludes that unconventional gas could represent 40% of the remaining technically recoverable resource of natural gas, but the level of uncertainty is extremely high.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury removal by magnetic biochar derived from simultaneous activation and magnetization of sawdust.
TL;DR: Novel magnetic biochars (MBC) were prepared by one-step pyrolysis of FeCl3-laden biomass and employed for Hg0 removal in simulated combustion flue gas, and both enhanced surface area and excellent magnetization property were obtained.

A new method for the identification and quantification of magnetite-maghemite mixture using conventional X-ray diffraction technique.
TL;DR: A convenient method is proposed to assess the presence of magnetite-maghemite mixture and to further quantify its phase composition using the conventional peak deconvolution technique and it is believed that the proposed method would be a convenient tool for the study of the magnetites-magemite mixture which otherwise requires highly sophisticated equipments and techniques.
