Recent developments in technological approaches to remediate Hg-contaminated soil, water, and air are evaluated in this review, with a focus on emerging materials and innovative technologies. The article reviews extensive research on various nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, nanosheets, and magnetic nanocomposites and emerging materials for mercury removal, including graphene, biochar, metal organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, layered double hydroxides, as well as clay minerals and manganese oxides. The performance of adsorption/desorption, oxidation/reduction, and stabilization/containment using these materials are examined, as are technologies involving microorganisms, such as phytoremediation, algal-based removal, microbial reduction, and constructed wetlands.
