Influence of sulfide, chloride and dissolved organic matter on mercury adsorption by activated carbon in aqueous system

Abstract Using activated carbon (AC) as thin layer capping to reduce mercury (Hg) released from contaminated sediment is a feasible and durable remediation approach. However, several aqueous factors could greatly affect the Hg fate in the aquatic system. This study thus intends to clarify the influe...
