Adsorption of Mercury, Lead and Cadmium Ions on Modified Activated Carbons

Steam-activated and zinc chloride-activated carbons were prepared from rice husks. These carbons were modified by treatment with different concentrations of sulphuric acid. The adsorption of Hg 2+ , Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ ions from aqueous solution at 298 K on to these carbons has been investigated. The ef...
