Kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamic studies on the adsorption of mercury (ii) ion from aqueous solution using modified palm oil fuel ash

Palm oil fuel ash (POFA) is a waste material generated from the boiler due to the burning of palm oil biomass e.g. kernel shell and fiber as fuel to generate electricity. The present research focused on the study of adsorption isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamic properties on the removal of mercur...
