Adsorption of Mercury Using Different Types of Activated Bentonite: A Study of Sorption, Kinetics, and Isotherm Models

Abstract: Mercury is a hazardous element because of its toxicity and harmful effects on human health. Various traditional and low-cost methods have been developed to remove mercury from wastewater. This study used local raw material as an alternative adsorbent to treat mercury-contaminated wastewater. Activated bentonite was prepared using different chemical activators (H3PO4, HCl, and ZnCl2) in various concentrations. Then, it was dried at 200°C for an hour. The materials were characterized by SEM-EDS. Its percent remo… Show more

“…50 mg/L, LDHs dose of 0.5 g/L, pHe 6.5-7.0, and various contact times from 5 to 300 minutes. Figure 3 shows that significant amount of arsenic was adsorbed in the first 10 minutes due to the concentration of solution and the vacant side of adsorption are quite high (Naswir et al, 2020). After that, the removal of arsenic increased slowly until the equilibrium time was reached.…”

“…Coconut shell carbon already has pores, but still with a small size, while carbon shells that have been chemically activated coconut have seen the distribution of more irregular pores with a more significant number of pores. Several studies informed that activated carbon after activation of H3PO4 has a more significant pore morphology than carbon before activation, the morphology of coconut shell carbon after activation looks more expansive due to the reaction with H3PO4 (Naswir et al, 2020). This phenomenon happened because coconut shell carbon activated using H3PO4 activator can dissolve the impurities so that more pores are formed, and adsorbate trapping capability by the active carbon of coconut shell becomes more maximal than carbon before activation.…”

“…The sorption model of BOD is similar to metals ion sorption; the BOD fill the pores of activated carbon in several times and will be decreased when the pores are entire. Another study informed that time contact effects the sorption ability (Naswir et al, 2020)…”
