 abstract={The presence of nickel ions in wastewater is a significant environmental concern due to its toxicity, which can cause severe health problems. Metakaolin is a pozzolanic material that can be activated by alkali to produce a highly porous and reactive material that can be utilised as a heavy metal ion adsorbent. However, the adsorption capacity of metakaolin-based adsorbents is limited by their surface chemistry and porosity. Metakaolin-based alkali-activated materials adsorbent modified with hydrogen peroxide can effectively remove nickel ions from wastewater. The modification process increases the surface area and porosity of the adsorbent, enhancing its adsorption capacity. The modified adsorbent (1.00 wt.% H2O2) showed a higher sorption capacity of 26.57 mg/g and efficiency of 85.22% compared to the non-modified adsorbent (10.55 mg/g) sorption capacity and 45.63% nickel removal efficiency, indicating the potential of hydrogen peroxide-modified adsorbents as an economical and ecologically sustainable solution for environmental applications, particularly for metal immobilization.},
