Removal of Lead by Merlinoite Prepared from Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and Kaolin: Synthesis, Isotherm, Kinetic, and Thermodynamic Studies
This study introduces a merlinoite synthesized from sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA) and kaolin and evaluates its application as an adsorbent to remove lead from wastewater.The synthesis was performed via the hydrothermal method, and optimal conditions were determined.The adsorption of Pb by merlinoite was also optimized.Determination of the Pb2+ remain
