The presence of lead compounds in the environment is an issue. In particular, supply water
consumption has been reported to be a significant source of human exposure to lead …

At present, there is growing interest in using low cost, commercially available materials for
the adsorption of heavy metals. The major advantages of adsorption technologies are its …

The disadvantages of conventional methods in water and wastewater management
including the demand for high energy consumption, the creation of secondary toxic sludge …

The removal of poisonous Pb (II) from wastewater by different low-cost abundant adsorbents
was investigated. Rice husks, maize cobs and sawdust, were used at different …

Background and aims: The removing of (potential) toxic heavy metal ions from sewage,
especially in industrial and mining waste effluents, has been widely studied in recent years …

The removal of lead from drinking water was investigated to develop a point-of-use water
filter that could meet the regulation imposed by the new European Directive 98-83 lowering …

This work focuses on the application of activated biomass as an alternative to conventional
adsorbents for the removal of Pb 2+ from wastewater. The biomass was carbonized at 800° …

Starch phosphate as a novel adsorbent was synthesized for the removal of lead from
aqueous media and characterized by BET, BJH, SEM, EDX, XRD, and FTIR techniques …

This study is aimed at comparing the use of zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and
aluminium oxide (Al2O3) for removing lead ions from water through adsorption. The point of …

Valorization of waste materials and byproducts as adsorbents is a sustainable approach for
water treatment systems. Pottery Granules (PG) without any chemical and thermal …
