Simultaneous adsorption of mercury (II) and zinc (II) ions from aqueous solution onto activated carbons derived from a lowland bioresource waste

Adsorption of Hg(II) and Zn(II) ions from a binary solution was examined using activated carbons (ACs) prepared from a lowland bioresource waste (Theobroma cacao pod husk). The aim of the study was to determine the potential for utilizing the plant-based ACs as a low-cost adsorbent for removing the...
