Study of Hg(II) removal from aqueous solution using lignocellulosic coconut fiber biosorbents: equilibrium and kinetic evaluation

Lignocellulosic coconut wastes such as pith and fiber, which are abundantly available and cheap, have the potential of being used as low-cost biosorbents for heavy metal ion removal. In this study, pristine (CF-Pristine) and NaOH-treated (CF-NaOH) coconut fibers were used as a biosorbent for Hg(II)...
