Facile sulfurization of char from agrowaste of coconut pith (CP) and elemental sulfur was developed towards producing cheaper adsorbents for elemental mercury (Hgº) adsorption. It was found that physicochemical properties of the sulfurized chars changed with the initial CP to elemental sulfur ratio...
