Physicochemical Conditions for Adsorption of Lead from Water by Rice Husk Ash

The effects of physico-chemical parameters such as pH, temperature, and lead concentration on the efficiency of lead adsorption by rice husk ash were determined. Rice husk was incinerated at 800 °C for 6 h and then activated with 0.5 M HCl. Rice husk and rice husk ash (RHA) were characterized using...
