Industrial wastes, such as, fly ash, blast furnace slag and sludge, black liquor lignin, red mud, and waste slurry, etc. are currently being investigated as potential adsorbents for the removal of the heavy metals from wastewater. It was found that modified industrial wastes showed higher adsorption
## Abstract This paper assesses the potential of modified montmorillonite clays as lowβcost adsorbents/ionβexchangers for the removal of trace level heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) from potable water. Modification of the montmorillonites resulted in the exchange of the interlayer calcium ions
