HIGH SELECTIVE HEAVY METAL ION ADSORBING AGENT* AND METHOD OF PREPARATION AND ADSORPTION THEREOF

摘要

A heavy metal adsorbent of high selectivity, a process for the production thereof, and an adsorption process using the heavy metal adsorbent are described; the adsorbent exhibits high adsorptivity particularly for mercury, and has excellent chemical stability, e.g., heat resistance and alkali resistance, and dimensional stability. This adsorbent is applicable, e.g., to the removal of mercury from waste water resulting from the washing of smoke in huge incineration stations, from saturated brine used in the sodium industry in an ion exchange membrane method, and so forth.
