Case Study on Removal of Ambazari lake Water impurities By using Corn Cob and Neem Leaves As Bio – Adsorbents.

Abstract

This study was carried out for the utilization of Corn Cobs and Neem leaves as adsorbent for the removal of Surface water impurities . From the above observation it was concluded that Corn cobs were found suitable adsorbents because of their high mechanical strength, rigidity and porosity. Hence, contaminants like oxides of salts, detergents, suspended particles, coloured dyes, oil and grease get adsorbed in the surface of the corn cobs. It is a cheap and low cost method using one the less utilized agricultural bio-wastes of the globe.
