Abstract
Removal of heavy metals from wastewater using sugarcane leaf as adsorbent
In the present study, the potential of sugarcane leaf powder as an adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals such as Lead, Cadmium and Chromium from aqueous was investigated. Highest adsorption capacity of the material Lead, Cadmium and Chromium was found to be in the range of 86, 64 and 62 percentage an initial metal ion concentration of 100ppm solution. Hence the present study reveals that the low cost adsorbent of sugarcane leaf may be used for removing the above said heavy metals effectively from wastewater.
