Abstract:The removal of heavy
metals from wastewater remains a challenge
due to the limitations of current remediation methods. This study
aims to develop multicomponent composites as inexpensive and environmentally
friendly sorbents with enhanced capture of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb).
The composites are based on calcium montmorillonite (CM) and activated
carbon (AC) because of their proven effectiveness as sorbents for
diverse toxins in environmental settings. In this study, we used a
combination of computational and … Show more
