Abstract
against other metal ions and natural organic matter, indicating its great potential in removing mercury from real water bodies. In addition, the sponge can be chemically regenerated and exhibits good reusability, which decreases the economic and environmental impacts. Hence, the high removal efficiency, high selectivity toward mercury, and good reusability of the sponge material highlight it as a promising sorbent for mercury removal in water pollution treatment.
