Waste container glass cullet has been evaluated as a feedstock material for the hydrothermal synthesis of tobermorite, a cation exchanger. Accordingly, it is demonstrated that essentially phase-pure 11 ? tobermorite, Ca 5Si6O16(OH) 2? 4H2O, can be obtained from a stoicheiometrically-adjusted mixture of waste glass cullet and calcium oxide in aqueous sodium hydroxide at 100?C. A batch sorption study indicated that the cullet-derived tobermorite is highly effective in the removal of Pb2+(1.66 mmol g?1) and Cd2+(0.48 mmol g?1) from solution. Its ion exchange characteristics are compared with those of other waste-derived sorbents and potential applications are discussed
