PROCESS FOR GAS DEMERCURATION
First Claim
2. The process defined in claim 1 wherein said temperature is 20*C to 50*C and said mass comprises a porous material impregnated with an aqueous solution of an iron salt selected from the group which consists of ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, ammonium ferric alum, ferric nitrate, ferric perchlorate, ferric hydrogen sulfate, potassium ferric alum and ferric acetate.

Abstract
A process and a contact mass for demercuration (removal of mercury) of various gases (air in industrial rooms, hydrogen from an electrolysis plant using a mercury cathode, etc.). According to the process, the polluted gas is passed, at ambient temperature and at atmospheric pressure or higher, through a fixed bed out of contact mass. This consists of a porous material (such as active carbon, silica gel or alumina), impregnated with an aqueous solution of a trivalent iron salt. The excess water is run off, and the impregnated mass may be dried superficially before utilization.
