Batch process of mercury (II) removal using CNTs grown on GACs

This research project was performed to study the performance of carbon nanotubes (CNT) grown on granular activated carbon (GAC) as an adsorbent for removal of heavy metal (mercury) from aqueous solution. The effect of pH, agitation speed, contact time and CNT dosage was studied for optimal adsorptio...
