Precipitation as the main mechanism for Cd(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) removal from aqueous solutions using natural and activated forms of red mud

The red mud (RM) has been used as an alternative low-cost adsorbent to remove trace elements, with the adsorption onto sodalite surface described as the main removal mechanism for trace elements. However, recent studies have shown that precipitation might be of great importance for some trace metals...
