Abstract
Research was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of mercury (II) removal from water by activated carbon with and without chemical aids. Batch tests, adsorption isotherms, and column runs were made on various systems. Treatment with activated carbon alone was most effective at low ph. Adddition of a precipitating chelate ammononium 1-one pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate improved capacity for mercury removal. Treatment of the activated carbon surface with carbon disulfide was also effective in increasing carbon capacity for mercury as compared with untreated carbon. Reducing influent mercury (II) concentrations from 3 mg/1-ell to below 5 ppb was possible with most of the systems tested.
