รายละเอียด : Mercury and its compounds are neurotoxins, which simply cause any blockage of enzyme sites and interfere in related protein synthesis, and generally found as much toxic metal contaminants in wastewater and environment. Removal of such metal ions by various adsorbents including chitosan, resins, ash, silica gel and activated carbon was reported. Presently, graphene oxide (GO) is one of highly potential adsorbents used in numerous applications. Its main advantage is consisted of three main functional groups (carbonyl, hydroxyl and epoxide) on their surface giving anchored sites for metal ions complexation, namely for adsorption capabilities of Pb(II), Zn(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Co(II). The present study was thus subject to the adsorption of Hg(II) with GO compared with bare graphite (BGP).
