Description :
The contamination in water due to direct and indirect discharge of many chemicals into water sources
without sufficient treatment of harmful chemicals which leads to water pollution is a now a serious problem. Various
physicochemical and biological methods have been studied for metal ion removal. Adsorption is the easy and cheaper
method for removal of heavy metals. In this study, waste peanut shells were used for the preparation of adsorbent.
It was observed that this adsorbent yielded good results.
