In this study, two different methods were used to synthesis hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2). Fibrous HA was synthesised by hydrothermal reaction and HA powders were obtained from high temperature solid state reaction. Kinetics and thermodynamics of lead sorption from aqueous lead nitrate sol...
