Methods for the removal of heavy metals (e.g. lead), from a metal silicate during the process of manufacturing of such a material are provided. A calcium phosphate such as hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, or dicalcium phosphate actually aids in rendering immobile the heavy metals therein, such as lead, cadmium, and the like, thereby preventing release of high amounts of bioavailable amounts of such heavy metals from products for which the target metal silicates are considered reactants. Thus, the heavy metal-containing metal silicates may then be utilized to produce precipitated silicas, as one example, that exhibit much lower levels of bioavailable heavy metals as compared with the original silicon dioxide source.
