Abstract

Heavy metals have adverse e!Tects on human health and environment. Heavy metals
waste is a potential source of surface and ground water contamination if it is not
properly collected, treated and disposed of. The main objective of the study was to
develop rice husk-based adsorbents and to determine their etlectiveness in removing
various toxic heavy metals (cadmium (Cd (II)), chromium (Cr (VI)), copper (Cu (II)),
lead (Pb (II)), nickel (Ni (II)) and zinc (Zn (II)) from aqueous solution as well as from
metal finishing wastewater.
