Abstract
⺠A clinoptilolite-polypropylene composite for adsorption of lead has been prepared. âºThe activation of clinoptilolite before mixing with polypropylene was essential. ⺠The mechanical strength of polypropylene was not affected by the activation process. ⺠The adsorption and desorption of lead from aqueous media have been successful. âºThe composite can thus be used on a routine basis in water purification systems.
