Using magnetically responsive tea waste to remove lead in waters under environmentally relevant conditions.

Using magnetically responsive tea waste to remove lead in waters under environmentally relevant conditions.

We report the use of a simple yet highly effective magnetite-waste tea composite to remove lead(II) (Pb(2+)) ions from water. Magnetite-waste tea composites were dispersed in four different types of water-deionized (DI), artificial rainwater, artificial groundwater and artificial freshwater-that mim...
