Studies were conducted to assess the capability of waste tire rubber for removing organic Hg from solution. Samples of vulcanized tire rubber were ground to a suitable sorbent size and utilized in batch sorption studies. Research parameters included aqueous Hg concentration, rubber sorbent particle size, solution temperature and H ion concentration. Alternate S-free rubber materials were also evaluated in an attempt to identify the sorption mechanism. The studies showed tire rubber to be an efficient sorbent material for Hg removal from waste solutions. Of the parameters investigated, pH was most crucial, with an optimum pH range of 5.5-6.0 for good Hg removal. The diffusion of Hg through pores in the rubber sorbent was the rate limiting step regarding Hg uptake. S-free rubber materials were equally efficient for inorganic Hg removal.
