    Lead (Pb) removal process from wastewater is an important issue to prevent health problems for people. For this particular purpose, a low-cost adsorbent may be beneficial for improving the adsorption capacity for the Pb removal process. The aims of this paper are four-fold. First of all, a D-optimal experimental design was selected to reduce experimental runs and its cost. Second, the effect of four adsorption design factors, stirring speed (rpm), adsorbent dosage (g), pH level, and initial metal concentration (ppm), was examined. Also, the yellow natural stone, which is from Bayburt, Turkey, was used as a cheap adsorbent for the Pb removal process from the solu-tion. Third, a novel weighted mean-squared error optimization model was developed to obtain optimal adsorption levels for adsorption factors. Besides, a verification study was conducted to verify the results of the adsorption experiment. Finally, the lead (Pb(II)) removal capacity of the yellow Bayburt stone was obtained to be 46.031 mg/g, and the results of the experiment from the proposed methodology showed a good performance for the removal study.

    2-[(6-Morpholin-4-ylpyridin-3-yl)amino]-N’-(4-oxo-3-phenyl-1,3thiazolidin-2-ylidene) acetohydrazide (MPAPTAH) was first used in a cloud point extraction procedure to determine the cadmium and lead ions in solid samples. Triton X-114 was used as a mixed micellar medium. The optimal extraction parameters (e.g. surfactant concentrations, amount of ligand, pH etc.) were evaluated. The optimum experimental conditions for Cd and Pb ions during the extraction procedure were carried out with 0.7 mg of MPAPTAH agent, 1.0 mL 0.2% (w/v) of the surfactant, a pH of 8.0. Under the best analytical parameters, the detection limit (LOD) for Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions were found to be 0.6 μg L−1 and 1.91 μg L−1, while the relative standard deviation (RSD) was taken as 2.78 and 2.86%, respectively. Preconcentration factor (PE) of 50 was obtained from using 50 mL of the sample volume for both ions. The accuracy of the method was tested through analysis of Pb2+ and Cd2+ in certified reference material (CRM Sandy Soil C). The interference effect of certain cations and anions were also investigated. The recoveries of the analyte ions were almost quantitative in the presence of all the interfering ions. Afterwards, the developed method was successfully applied to find lead and cadmium in real solid samples, including black tea, tobacco, and chili pepper.
