Application of activated carbon from empty fruit bunch (EFB) for mercury [Hg(II)] removal from aqueous solution

Mercury is a heavy metal and is used widely in the industry, making it a global problem. It accounts for approximately 70% of man-made emissions. Activated carbon was found to be efficient for the adsorption of Hg(ll) in aqueous solution. The characterization of Hg(ll) uptake showed that the mercury...
