Bicarbonate treated mangosteen shell (BTMC) was characterized using FT- IR, SEM, EDAX and XRD data. The Freundlich adsorption isotherm model gives a good fit. The maximum adsorption capacities of BTMC were found to be 58.48 mg g-1 and 49.75 mg g-1 for Pb (II) and. Hg (II). Adsorption of Pb (II) and Hg (II) followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The adsorption mechanism was explained using the Weber and Morris's intra-particular diffusion process. Batch mode studies with synthetic wastewater suggest that BTMC can be efficiently used in wastewater treatment.</p> </p></abstract><publication_date><month>01</month><day>15</day><year>2021</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>112</first_page><last_page>118</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">gnest_03188</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.003188</doi><timestamp>1714055867</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/gnest_03188</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
