Abstract

Wastewater and or water contamination due to Lead is of significant occupational and environmental concern because of the possibility of Lead to enter the food chain. There are numerous adsorbent used in adsorption of Lead in wastewater. This includes agricultural biomass, industrial sludge as well as activated carbon prepared from these materials. Recently, nanoparticles and nanocomposites have been synthesized and applied as nanoadsorbent for Lead removal from solution. This review highlights synthesis, characterization and application of nanoadsorbents for Lead adsorption in wastewater.
