| Abstract: | The adsorption of Hg(II) on modified tamarind
nut carbon (Bicarbonate treated tamarindnut carbon – BTNC) was investigated to
assess the possible use of this adsorbent for the processing of mercury removal
from wastewater. The influence of various factors such as agitation time, pH
and carbon dosage on the adsorption capacity has been studied. Adsorption
isothermal data could be interpreted by Langmuir and Freundlich equations. In
order to understand the reaction mechanism, kinetic data has been studied using
reversible first order rate equation. |
