DNA has a unique character that allows it to combine with various chemical substrates at the molecular level, and the DNA binding with chemical pollutants can cause serious damage to the organism. The purpose of this research was to apply the strong bonding character of DNA for the removal of mercury ions. In this research, we used DNA condensation promoted by the action of DNA condensing agents, such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and a commercially available combination flocculant made of zeolite, to precipitate out the DNA bound with mercury ion in an aqueous solution. When solutions of mercury at 0.02-100 ppm (parts per million) concentrations at a pH range of 2-11 were treated with double-stranded DNA followed by the condensing agent, more than 95% of the mercury ions could be removed after simple filtration or sedimentation.
