| Summary: | Biosorption is an environmental fiendly method for metal removal as it can be used as a
cost effective and efficient technique for heavy metal removal. A lot of biomass can be choosed as
biosorbent such as waste material from food processing and agriculture.ent. This paper will review
the potential used of local fruit rind as biosorbent for heavy metal removal in wastewater. Heavy
metals have been in various industries and resulted to a toxic condition in aquatic ecosystem.
Therefore, various techniques have been employed for the treatment of metal-bearing industrial
wastewaters including biological treatment through biosorption. Biosorption offers the advantages of
low cost, good efficiency and production of sludge with high metal content is possible to avoid by the
existence of metal recovery method from metal loaded biosorbent. The successful application of local
fruit waste in treating wastewater containing heavy metals requires a deeper understanding of how
biosorbent material proceeds. |
