Abstract: | The adsorption characteristics of mercury(II) on several kinds of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer beads having different surface properties were studied. It was found that the polymer beads selectively adsorbed mercury(II) from solutions over a wide range of pH with high efficiency. The amount of mercury(II) adsorbed increased with increase in specific surface area of the polymer beads and the adsorption behaviour was found to be of the Langmuir type. The presence of chloride strongly reduced the adsorption, but this interference was not observed with nitrate, sulphate, perchlorate, cadmium(II), cobalt(II), copper(II), nickel(II), silver(I) and zinc(II). More than 95% of the mercury(II) adsorbed on a column of polymer beads could be recovered with dilute hydrochloric acid. |
