Indonesian kaolin was used as precursor for synthesis of sodalite. Synthesis parameters were optimized by varying the Si/Al ratios, stirring and aging conditions, and water composition. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Xray (SEM-EDX), and Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) were used to characterize sodalite. The potential of sodalite as adsorbent for heavy metal Pb 2+ ions removal from waste water was investigated in this work. The uptake adsorption capacities of sodalite was 90-100 mg/g from synthesized sodalite crystallized for 24 and 48 hours, and commercial silica. The kinetic of Pb 2+ adsorption was a pseudo second order reaction and the adsorption coefficients was followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. ous damage to nervous system, kidney function and reproduction organ [1]. It also affects hematopoietic, renal, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular [2]. Removal of lead from waste water using reverse osmosis, precipitation, ion exchange and electro dialysis have been investigated and were proven effective [1,[3][4][5][6]. However, the processes were economically demanding and the waste deposit resulted from the removal processes were still required for additional disposal treatment.Sorption using solid adsorbents offers a better solution for waste water treatment which in-
