Removal of Hg(II) from wastewater was beneficial to satisfy the discharge standards of China's mercury-containing wastewater (50 ppb). An adsorbent was prepared via modifying corn husk leaves with bismuthiol I. The results revealed that the mercury removal rate was more than 98.5% at pH 1.0–7.0. Moreover, the removal rate reached 96% at 5 min and the residual concentration decreased from 10 ppm to approximately 30 ppb. In addition, the adsorbent owned a conspicuous selective absorbability for trace Hg(II) from wastewater. The adsorption process followed a Hill isotherm model. The actual saturated adsorption quantity of the adsorbent was 707 mg/g. The repeatability experiment indicated that the mercury removal efficiency was still beyond 99% after three cycles. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy suggested that the main adsorption mechanism was chelation between nitrogen/sulfur groups and Hg(II). The adsorbent was hopeful to remove mercury from wastewater in a sustainability perspective.
