Old Rubber Tires Help Solve Mercury Pollution
Scientists at the Savannah River Plant discovered that ground rubber from discarded tires absorbs mercury in flowing streams. The 1970s work led to a patent in the US and five foreign countries with four inventors from South Carolina and Tennessee working at Du Pont for the Atomic Energy Commission plant. The idea started with Edward L. Albenesius and progressed through experiments by Edwin R. Russell, A Ray McJunkin, and Whitney Tharin Jr. The rubber method reduces mercury levels and is used in the plant’s processes, though it saturates and remains the least expensive option.
