© 2020 Elsevier Ltd In this study, the application of mangosteen pericarp (MG) as a bio-sorbent based on agricultural waste was assessed for the removal of Hg(II) from aqueous media. The MG was calcined at 500 °C and 1000 °C and was denoted as MG500 and MG1000, respectively. Physicochemical properti...
