| Abstract | Chitosan from prawn waste was used for the removal of mercury from solutions. Mercuric chloride solutions containing 250, 500, 1000, 10000 and 100,000 ng of Hg+ super(2)/ml were treated with chitosan samples of different particle size for different periods. The effect of initial concentration of mercury in the solution, particle size of chitosan and time of treatment on the adsorption of Hg+ super(2) were studied. The residual mercury content after treatment for ten min. with chitosan of 40 mesh size from a solution of initial concentration 10,000 ng/ml was 10 ng/ml whereas it was 50 ng/ml for chitosan of larger particle size (10-20 mesh). |
