Tourmaline from Altai mine in China's Sinkiang was used to remove lead (II), copper (II) from aqueous solution. The results demonstrate that tourmaline contains Na(Mg,V) 3 Al 6 (BO 3 ) 3 Si 6 O 18 (OH) 4 , NaFe 3 Al 6 (BO 3 ) 3 Si 6 O 18 (OH) 4 . The data show that Tourmaline from Altai mine in China's Sinkiang can be used natural adsorbent for lead (II), copper (II). It is observed that the adsorption data fitted to the Langmuir isotherm. Furthermore, both Pb (II) and Cu (II) absorbed by tourmaline and tourmaline were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, Laser Raman Spectrum, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray energy dispersive spectrometer, Transmission electron microscopy and Zeta potential.
