Removal of Lead and Zinc from Industrial Waste water by Amla leaves Nano-bioadsorbent
Abstract: In the present research work, amla leaves (Phyllanthusemblica) were used for preparing nanobioadsorbent to remove heavy metals viz. Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn) present in wastewater. The major advantage of using amla leaves as bioadsorbent is its easy availability, abundance, low cost, biodegradable and eco-friendly nature. Prepared bioadsorbent was characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), SEM and BET techniques. Variation in the experimental conditions such as pH, adsorbent dosage, stirring speed …
