Adsorption Processing for the Removal of Toxic Hg(II) from Liquid Effluents: Advances in the 2019 Year

Abstract: Mercury is a toxic metal, thus, it is an element which has more and more restrictions in its uses, but despite the above, the removal of this metal, from whatever the form in which it is encountered (zero valent metal, inorganic, or organic compounds), and from different sources, is of a widespread interest. In the case of Hg(II), or Hg2+, the investigations about the treatment of Hg(II)-bearing liquid effluents (real or in most cases synthetic solutions) appear not to end, and from the various separation tech… Show more

“…This is directly related to the ability of hydrogen ions to compete with active sites on the surface of the adsorbent. pH can affect the surface charge of the adsorbent and the degree of ionization on the surface of the adsorbent [23]. The adsorption mechanism is related to physicochemical interactions of heavy metals in solution and functional groups in the adsorbent.…”

“…This trend may be explained as follow, at low pH, the concentration of H+ ion in the solution is high, resulting in the active groups on the surface of the adsorbent being protonated and producing a partially positive charge on the functional groups/active site of adsorbent. This condition is not favorable for the occurrence of the interaction between the positively charged Hg(II) and the protonated active groups on the surface of the adsorbent, due to electrostatic repulsion this is due to the metal ions Hg 2+ competing with H + ions to interact with the active site of the surface of durian The adsorbate molecule would undergo lateral expansion or lateral repulsion at this pH value, thereby reducing the adsorption capacity [23]. At pH below 4 high proton concentrations minimize metal adsorption and above pH 7 metal precipitation will occur.…”

“…The pH of the landfill leachate water was ~7.7 and included high heavy-metal and ionic concentration (Table S1). The pH was adjusted to 3.0 using 0.1 M HCl to have predominant species of Hg 2+ in the range of pH 1-3 [53]. The original landfill leachate sample was directly used for the baseline curve and electrolyte due to a high NaCl concentration (13,800 μS/cm).…”

“…After leaching, these REEs are recovered from the solutions via different separation technologies, including precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction, ion exchange resins, etc. Adsorption is one of the most popular methods [1,2], due to its ease of use, ability to treat dilute-metal solutions and/or unclarified…”
