Resumen
Polymer for the immobilization of mercury species. The high toxicity of mercury makes it necessary to search for methods of cleaning and recovering contaminated spaces. A new polymeric material highly effective in said capture is presented, which also has a selective affinity towards different mercury species. The polymer is obtained by radical polymerization of a monomer derived from thiourea and nobe. The new material can be a novel tool as a cleaning system for wastewater, waste or leachate from anthropogenic mercury sources, as well as a detoxification element for spaces where mercury is present in any of its most volatile forms.
