In this study, it was aimed to investigate the applicability of mistletoe (Viscum album L.) plant, which is parasitic on many trees in the world, but which is the subject of many studies in terms of its content, as an adsorbent. The mistletoe plant is first dried together with its stem and leaves. It was then treated with HCl and activated by thermal method. The activation process was carried out at 400 oC in a blast furnace in a nitrogen atmosphere. The characterization of the obtained activated charcoal was carried out using chemical, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermal Analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis methods. Characterized activated charcoal was used to remove lead (Pb+2) in aqueous solution and its effectiveness was tested. The experiments were carried out in batch process. In order to examine the effect of solution pH on lead removal, experiments were carried out at six different pH (1-6) and it was determined that the best removal was at pH: 5 with qe: 50.78 mg/g. While examining the effect of temperature on lead removal, experiments were carried out at three different adsorption temperatures (26oC-45oC). The effect of solid/liquid ratio on removal was determined for three different solid/liquid ratios (0.4-1g/l), and the highest removal percentage was obtained at 1g/l solid/liquid ratio, while the best adsorption capacity was determined at 0.4g/l solid/liquid ratio. At the end of the trials, it was determined that the activated charcoal obtained from the mistletoe by the thermal method can be used as a cheap, easily prepared and easily available adsorbent in lead removal.
