Rice husk ash was utilized as a low-cost silica precursor in preparing KCC-1(RHA) for Pb(II) removal. The characterization results revealed the comparable properties of KCC-1(RHA) with the conventional KCC-1. The optimum adsorption conditions were achieved at initial concentration of 322.06 mg/L, ad...
