Abstract:Pb(II) contamination in aquatic environments has adverse effects on humans even at a low concentration, so the efficient removal of Pb at a low cost is vital for achieving an environmentally friendly, sustainable, and healthy society. A variety of CaCO3-based functional adsorbents have been synthesized to remove Pb, but the adsorption capacity is still unsatisfactory. Herein, calcite CaCO3 microcubes/parallelepipeds are synthesized via simple precipitation and a hydrothermal approach and found to outperform pr… Show more
