Abstrakt: Sulfur functionalized biocarbons were prepared from naturally abundant lignin alkali with sodium thiocyanate as an activation agent and a sulfur source. The resultant biocarbon sorbents showed a high mercury isolation ability from aqueous solutions, where high surface area and doping of sulfur significantly aid the uptake of mercury, i.e., 0.05 g of biocarbon sorbent removed 99% of mercury from 250 mL of simulated wastewater with an initial concentration of mercury of 10 mg L−1.
