Effect of gold nanoparticles structural variations on mercury removal

In this study gold nanoparticles with different size and shaped were synthesized by different methods in order to observe its capability to remove or adsorb mercury from the prepared solution. The results have showed that various sizes and shapes of gold nanoparticles were obtained using direct synt...
