Acrylamide and acrylonitrile were grafted on psyllium employing ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as initiator under N2 atmosphere to get an adsorbent of mercury ions. The synthesized adsorbent was optimized by varying synthetic parameters viz. monomer concentration, reaction time, temperature, initiator concentration, etc. to obtain the maximum yield of the grafted product as well as maximum adsorption of ionic mercury. The synthesized adsorbent was characterized by FT-IR, SEM, XRD, zeta potential and thermal techniques. The effect of various process parameters such as pH, time, adsorption dose and temperature on Hg (II) adsorption was investigated. The maximum Hg (II) adsorption (96%) was achieved at temperature (30 °C), dose (30 mg), pH (6), time (60 min) and initial concentration of mercury with 100 ppm. The Hg(II) adsorption on Psy-g-Poly (Am-co-An) was confirmed by XPS study. The isotherm data of the adsorption experiments obeyed the classical Langmuir adsorption isotherm. On the other hand, the kinetic data followed the second-order kinetics, indicating the chemisorption mechanism.
