Lead adsorption; 𝛼-Fe₂O₃; fly ash; structure; morphology.

Solid adsorbents have shown great promise for control of particulate and non-particulate matter and as gas sensing devices in recent times. In the present study, adsorption of environmental toxic pollutant such as lead ions on solid adsorbents viz. 𝛼-Fe₂O₃ and fly ash, are reported. Considerable adsorption was observed on fly ash when compared to 𝛼-Fe₂O₃ surface. These studies are characterized by employing solid state and solution studies.
