A kind of low-cost silicon-substituted carbonate hydroxyapatite (Si-CHAP) powder was successfully fabricated by using eggshell powder, H3PO4, Ca(OH)2, Na2SiO3, and Na2CO3 under sonochemistry coprecipitation condition. Si-CHAP could serve as an ideal adsorbent to remove zinc ion (Zn2+) from aqueous solution. Under the optimized conditions, the removal efficiency of Zn2+ in solution by Si-CHAP could reach to 96.2%. The adsorption mechanism was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Notably, the ...
