“…Different natural (e.g. metal oxides, bentonites, natural zeolites) and synthetic (resins, modified zeolites, synthetic hydroxides /oxides/hydroxides, metal phosphates and silicates) materials have been tested in adsorption process for removal of heavy metal from wastewater with various efficiencies [10,16]. In addition, significant research work has been done on different waste materials to improve and investigate proper sorbents for water and wastewater treatment, blast furnace slug [17,18], biomass [19,20], fly ash [21], and bagasse fly ash [22,23], among other have been investigated as sorbents for removal of heavy metal with various levels of achievement.…”
