Abstract
Abstract- The study works on the removal of heavy metal by chemically modified natural adsorbents such as rice husk and sugarcane bagasse which gives better results than untreated adsorbents. Numerous chemicals used for modifications which include mineral and organic acids, bases, oxidizing agent, organic compound etc. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of adsorbent for removal of heavy metal. Treated rice husk and sugarcane bagasse shows good adsorption capacities for Cu, Pb, Cd, Fe, Co, Ni& Al.
Keywords: Rice Husk, Sugarcane bagasse, heavy metal, wastewater treatment.
