Maleate buffer may be a bit expensive in real life application. I suggest to use another stable adsorbent , which can work at any pH and buffered solutions, as the ultimate goal of research is to improve environment and to solve ecological problems. You can covalent cross-link Alginate and then it will work at any pH range, moreover I suggest to use Medusa software that will give information about mercury ion formArticle Efficient removal of mercury (II) from water by use of cryog...

Thank you all for the suggestions. However, I tried maleate buffer and the result is the same. Dr. Dmitriy the use of cross-link Alginate is a good option I will consider it.

Calcium is not compatible with phosphate buffer at that pH; it precipitates and the pH is not maintained. Try maleate buffer.
