“…Several methods, such as chemical precipitation, membrane filtration, ionic exchange, solvent extraction, and adsorption, have been employed for the separation of Hg(II) ions [4,5,6,7,8]. Among them, adsorption appears to be a highly promising and widely used approach due to high efficiency, low cost, operability, and repeatability [9,10,11]. The key to this technology is exploring the effective adsorbent.…”
