AB  - Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) with explosive characteristics at high temperatures was used as a novel activating reagent to prepare a surface-engineered activated carbon derived from pistachio wood wastes (PWAC). PWAC was characterized and compared with commercial activated carbon (CAC) by textural and morphological properties, surface chemistry, crystal structure, and surface elemental composition. The results indicated that the optimal conditions of PWAC preparation to obtain the highest mercury adsorption capacity were pyrolysis temperature (800 degrees C), pyrolysis time (2 h), and impregnation ratio (5%). PWAC was of highly regular-shaped and well-developed pores and possessed a large surface area (1448 m(2)/g) and high total pore volume (0.901 cm(3)/g). The batch experiments indicated that the adsorption process of Hg(II) was strongly dependent on the solution pH and reached fast equilibrium at approximately 30 min. PWAC (202 mg/g) exhibited a significantly higher maximum adsorption capacity than commercial activated carbon (66.5 mg/g). Adsorbent-adsorbate dispersion interaction plays a major role in the adsorption mechanism, compared to the minor role played by pore filling and reduction mechanism. Overall, ammonium nitrate can be considered a newer activating reagent to prepare promising and low-cost PWAC for effectively Hg(II) removal from water media.
