Adsorption of mercury(II) using activated carbon produced from Bambusa vulgaris var. striata in a fixed-bed column

Pollution by mercury dissolved in aqueous media causes a crucial problem for health and environment. In this study, activated carbon from Bambusa vulgaris var. striata was produced by chemical activation using NaOH for mercury adsorption. The effects of mercury initial concentrations namely 50 and 1...
