Potential removal of heavy metal ions from polluted water using Bauxite

Bauxite, the principal ore of aluminum is a potential low-cost sorbent for treating heavy metal-contaminated water. We studied the ability of raw bauxite to adsorb Pb2+, Cu2+, and Co2+ ions in natural waters and the dependency of the adsorption efficiency on the metal concentration in water, contact...
