In response to the pressing global health concern posed by lead contamination in water systems, we introduce a novel green synthesis polymer, LIM-co-DVB-co-VIM, derived from D-Limonene, a natural terpene. This polymer offers high surface area and tenability making it a promising solution for Pb(II) ion removal. Our study involves a thorough characterization of the adsorbent and optimization of operational parameters for selective Pb(II) ion removal. Adsorption follows Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics, with an adsorption capacity of 31.8 mg g⁻¹ and rapid removal efficiency. Thermodynamic analysis reveals the exothermic and spontaneous nature of the adsorption process. Selectivity studies confirm the polymer's ability to selectively adsorb Pb(II) ions. Desorption experiments with 0.1 M HCl achieve a quantitative recovery of 95.7%, demonstrating efficient regeneration. Application to real water samples validates the method's effectiveness, highlighting the importance of environmentally friendly solutions in addressing water contamination challenges.
