What is it about?
Optimization of the adsorption of lead (II) by hydroxyapatite using a factorial design: Density functional theory and molecular dynamics. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) synthesized through a wet chemical procedure was used to adsorb lead (II) from an aqueous solution. HAp was characterized using Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The removal of Pb+2 was investigated using the factorial design approach to investigate the efficiency of different Pb+2 concentrations, adsorption contact time, and HAp mass.
