The main tendencies in the adsorption of dissolved inorganic mercury (Hg 2 ) and methylmercury (MeHg ) on suspended kaolin particles have been investigated in synthetic aqueous solutions. The influence of NaCl, fulvic acid (FA) and suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the system has been studied at a constant pH of 7.2. The experiments were arranged according to a full factorial design with three factors (NaCl, FA SPM) at low (À) and high () levels. A central point (
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
