Comparison of the characteristics and mechanisms of Hg(II) sorption by biochars and activated carbon

[Display omitted] •Biochars showed higher effectiveness for Hg(II) sorption than activated carbon.•Hg(II) sorption by biochar was mainly attributed to the CC or CO induced Hg-π binding.•Formation of (COO)2Hg and (O)2Hg were responsible for the Hg(II) sorption by activated carbon.•Biochar can be a su...
