Conventional and non-conventional adsorbents for removal of pollutants from water – A review
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present article, the suitability of activated carbon and other alternative adsorbents for wastewater treatment has been reviewed. It is evident from literature survey of last 20-25 years that researchers have gained success to some extent in developing inexpensive adsorbents for water pollution control utilizing naturally available and waste materials. However, still there is a need to find out the practical utility of such developed adsorbents on large-scale and safe and eco-friendly disposal of spent adsorbents.

The expensive nature of metal ions detoxification from wastewater have restricted the use of conventional treatment technologies. Cheap, alternative measures have been adopted to eliminate metal contamination, and adsorptions using agricultural adsorbents seem to be the way forward. The use of agricultural adsorbents for cadmium (II), copper (II) and lead (II) ion removal has gained more intere...
