Abstract

In the present study, Eucalyptus carbon powder was used as an adsorbent for the removal of Heavy metals such as Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Manganese and Copper from Ground water was studied. Highest adsorption capacity of Copper was found with an initial concentration of 100 ppm solution. Hence the present study reveals that the low cost adsorbent of Eucalyptus carbon may be used for removing the above said heavy metals present in Ground water.
