The adsorptive capacities of virgin and sulfur impregnated granular activated carbons (GAC) for gas-phase mercury (Hg{sup 0}) were evaluated as a function of temperature and influent mercury concentration. The pronounced effect of temperature on the adsorptive capacity of virgin GAC evidences a physiosorption mechanism. The enhanced removal efficiency of sulfur impregnated GAC results from the formation of mercuric sulfide on the surface of the carbon. The method used for impregnating the GAC with sulfur also influences its adsorptive capacity.
