摘要：Adsorption of toxic heavy metals viz. Ni(II) and Hg(II) from synthetic waste water was studied on activated biocarbon derived from Tridax procumbens. Batch adsorption experiments were performed with activated biocarbon as a function of pH, contact time and amount of activated biocarbon. The most favourable pH required for maximum adsorption was found to be 2.1 and 5.0 for ni ckel and mercury respectively. The maximum contact time for the equilibrium condition was found to be 180 min. The maximum efficiencies of nickel and mercury removal by this biocarbon were 87.68% and 82.23% respectively
