Sorption of trace metal ions (Pb 2+, Zn 2+ and Hg 2+) on synthesized sodium aluminosilicate (Na–AS), an important clay mineral, was carried out in the presence and absence of humic acid (Aldrich) at different pH (3 to 10). The material was synthesized by solution route method and it was characterize...
