High removal efficiency of Hg(II) and MeHg(II) from aqueous solution by coconut pith - Equilibrium, kinetic and mechanism analyses

This study was conducted to investigate the high efficiency of coconut pith (CP) adsorbent in removing Hg(II) and MeHg(II) ions from aqueous solution. The CP adsorbent was characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption (NAD) analysis, determination of pH at...
