Adsorption of mercury (I)ion from aqueous solutions usingTiO2nanoparticles

In this study, the adsorption ofmercury (I) ion from aqueous solutions onto TiO2nanoparticles as a fairly low cost adsorbent has been investigated in batch mode. The effect of experimental parameters such as initial pH of the solution, contact time, adsorbent dosage, mercury initial concentrationand temperature wasstudied. The results showed that the adsorption percentage was dependent on this parameters specially pH. The maximumadsorption percentage of mercury(I)ion obtained at 22±1oC was 97.5%.
