  		FIG. 1. Adsorption isotherms of Hg on kaolin and kaolin-humic acid complexes. ({circ}) CHA = 0 mg g–1; ({blacksquare}) CHA = 6.6 mg g–1; ({blacktriangleup}) CHA = 12.2 mg g–1; ({diamondsuit}) CHA = 19.5 mg g–1; (•) CHA = 26.9 mg g–1. Error bars represent standard deviations. The absence of error bars implies that the error is less than the size symbol of the symbol.
