Adsorptive studies of toxic metal ions of Cr(VI) and Pb(II) from synthetic wastewater by pristine and calcined coral limestones

This research work reports on novel materials obtained when coral limestones (PCLS) was calcined at 800 and 900 °C to produce CLS-800 and CLS-900. The materials were characterized by SEM, BET, XRD, FTIR and UV-Vis. The calcined materials exhibited BET surface areas of 64.10 and 63.28 m2/g for CLS-80...
