“…There are several methods for removing lead contaminant from effluents such as ion exchange, chemical precipitation, oxidation and reduction, reverse osmosis and sorption methods [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. In the last method, different sorbents have been used such as fly ash [13], activated carbon [14], natural surface coating [15], sea nodule [16], chitosan [17][18][19], zeolites [20][21][22], clay [23][24][25], natural oxide [26,27], industrial waste [28], iron-coated sand [29], and some biosorbents [30][31][32].…”
