Celik, A.; Demirbaş, A. Removal of Heavy Metal Ions from Aqueous Solutions via Adsorption onto Modified Lignin from Pulping Wastes. Energy Sources 2005, 27 (12), 1167–1177.
In this study, biomass sources of modified lignin were utilized as metal ion adsorbent. Several techniques are employed in removing heavy metals that are known pollutants found in water solutions. This study was able to provide inexpensive and effective absorbent of such metal ions. The data presented were sufficient in proving the biomass sources’ effectiveness as metal ion adsorbent.
Elias, M. A.; Hadibarata, T.; Sathishkumar, P. Modified Oil Palm Industry Solid Waste as a Potential Adsorbent for Lead Removal. Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology 2020. 
This article involves the use of an empty fruit bunch (EFB) which is a known residue produced abundantly by palm oil. To maximize its use and prevent environmental hazards, EFB is modified to be used in the removal of lead from aqueous solutions through adsorption. The study presented relevant data and adequate results to support the effectiveness of EFB-activated carbon as an adsorbent for lead removal.

In this article, SBA-15, SBA-16, and KIT-6 as ordered mesoporous silica were employed in removing heavy metals found in contaminated water. These materials were modified and synthesized to become metal ion adsorbent of heavy metals which include Pb2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+. High efficiency was illustrated by the data provided. Results were also accurate as data were calculated with the use of the Langmuir model.
