Multivariate Optimization of Pb<sup>2+</sup> Adsorption onto Ethiopian Low-Cost Odaracha Soil Using Response Surface Methodology

Lead pollution is a severe health concern for humankind. Utilizing water contaminated with lead can cause musculoskeletal, renal, neurological, and fertility impairments. Therefore, to remove lead ions, proficient, and cost-effective methods are imperative. In this study, the Odaracha soil which is...
