The potential application of chemically modified rice straw (RSGM) was investigated in a fixed-bed adsorber as an extension of our previous batch adsorption studies. The effect of flow rates (2 mL/min, 4 mL/min and 8 mL/min), Hg(II) concentrations (50 mg/L, 100 mg/L, and 200 mg/L), and bed heights (...
