Abstract

Abstract The invention contemplates the removal of soluble inorganic mercury compounds from waste streams by mixing with the stream an amount of sodium borohydride about 100 to 150 percent in excess of the stoichiometric amount required to reduce its inorganic mercury content to metal as a precipitate. If organic mercurials are present in the stream, they are converted to soluble inorganic mercury salts by chlorination of the stream before mixing the stream with borohydride.
