Abstract
Industrial wastewater from metallic textile, leather tanning, electroplating, pigmentation dyes contains metal ions with higher concentration. The important toxic metals, ie, Cd, Zn, Ni, and Pb finds its way to the water bodies through waste water. This metal ion affects human health, marine life and aquatic life. The widespread use of heavy metals in various industries has created a series of environmental problems due to their non biodegradability and hazardous characteristics. Here, it is important to remove these metal ions using natural adsorbents like pipal bark, tea waste, egg shell powder etc.
