Abstract:Mercury is recognized as a serious hazard, nature bioaccumulative and persistent to the environment. Developing a low‐cost, effective, eco‐friendly adsorbent for removing mercury constitutes an urgent task. In this study, metakaolin‐based geopolymer (MKG) was synthesized and applied to remove mercury from model wastewater by adsorption. The samples were characterized by X‐ray fluorescence (XRF), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and scanning elect… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
