Abstract:Optimizing the potential utilization of low-rank coal, such as sub-bituminous coal (SC), can improve and maintain soil quality and productivity through amelioration technology. This potential is especially in controlling heavy metals such as Hg. This study aimed to examine the geochemistry of SC and the adsorption mechanism of Hg with SC through an adsorption isotherm model approach developed for experimental equilibrium. The geochemical of SC has an atomic composition of C (43.60%), O (40.64%), N (11.96%), Si… Show more
