Preparation of lead, copper and mercury adsorbent from sago waste : effect of adsorbent ph

Sago processing waste, which is both a waste and a pollutant, were used to adsorb lead, mercury and copper ions from solution. The effects of adsorbent’s pH and types of sago wastes on the sorption process were examined. The most effective pH range for adsorbent was found to be 4.5 to 6 for mercury...
