Cynodon Dactylon – A Cost Effective, Eco- Friendly Adsorbent for Removal of Lead

Abstract: Increased urbanization and industrialization has prompted a situation of higher amounts of lead in wastewater that has turned into a significant issue. Lead removal includes advances that have traditionally been utilized (oxidation, precipitation/coagulation/film separation)with far less attention paid to adsorption by plant biocarbon. Effect of pH, adsorbent portion and contact time on percentage removal of lead from aqueous solutions using plant adsorbent have been analyzed in this method is more economical and safe in present study.
