An efficient material is always welcoming for the water treatment due to the need of clean water to safe the human health. The conjugate adsorbent (CJA) was fabricated by functional ligand embedded onto the highly porous silica material for selective lead (Pb(II)) ion monitoring and removal from wastewater. The study was achieved not only investigating the beginning material but also the performing extrusion as novel conjugate material, this defining the material novelty of this study considers to the modern state-of-art. The fabricated material was characterized in all aspects and then the experimental works for Pb(II) ion assessing were carried in batch mode. The CJA was exposed the color and signal intensity upon addition of Pb(II) ion from low to high concentrations. The optimum pH was considered at 5.50 based on the sensitivity, the color formation ability and high adsorption of Pb(II) ion. The determined limit of low detection was 0.18 pg/L, which was the extraordinary performance for the Pb(II) ion monitoring ability by the CJA. The adsorption efficiency, specific attention was remunerated to the influence of solution pH, reaction time, foreign ion, initial Pb(II) amounts and regeneration. The CJA was exhibited high kinetic performances and showed high adsorption Pb(II) ion compared with the different forms of material. The adsorption was completely fitted with the Langmuir adsorption as defining the monolayer coverage as expected of the homogeneous porosity of the CJA. The maximum adsorption was determined as high as 175.16 mg/g. In addition, the foreign ions were not affected in the Pb(II) adsorption by the CJA, and the adsorbent was regenerated using 0.20 M HCl for several cycles used without significant loss of the initial performance. Considering these advantages, the CJA demonstrated the potential low-cost material for competitive use in wastewater remediation, especially in the developing countries.
