1. PROJECT NAME: Removing Pb(II) ion from waste water with the method of adsorption by using natural clay mineral, Bentonite.

2. AIM: To separate Pb(II), which is one of the hazardous heavy metals, from water via the Bentonite adsorption method.

ABSTRACT: In this study, Pb(II) ions, which is one of the heavy ions in waste water, which is  crucial for earth’s environment, are separated from waste water with the method of adsorption by using natural clay mineral, Bentonite. In the separation process of Pb(II) with adsorption by using natural clay mineral Bentonite, Ph and time effects are researched. According to the results that we obtain, Pb(II) ions, which are hazardous heavy metal ions, are separated from waste water by using Bentonite, which is a cheap and natural mineral. The most qualified Bentonite is available in large quantities in the Resadiye district in Tokat, Turkey and in Milwaukee County in Wisconsin, USA.
