Removal of copper and lead ions by red mud-metakaolin based geopolymer microspheres: Insights into the efficient preparation and adsorption mechanisms
This study used red mud and metakaolin as the main raw material, with sodium silicate as the alkali activator. Red mud-metakaolin based geopolymer microspheres (RM-MGMs) with good sphericity and high mechanical strength are prepared via dispersion-suspension-solidification method. By investigating the adsorption pe...
