I have been working on removing heavy metals from contaminated environment ( soil or water) and food stuff by  food industries or agricultural waste materials due to remedy them.

So I have been used adsorbent having low cost which were abundant in nature that required little processing . Most of them are by product or waste materilas from another industry ( mostly food stuff).  

 Such adsorbents are seaweed, orange peel,

peanut skins, bamboo-pulp, dyed sawdust, algae,

clay, zeolite, sawdust, flyash, maize or corn cob,

modified cotton and wool, tea waste, dyed jute,

groundnut shells8,9, coffee, green tea, date tree

leaves, jambhool, potato husk, ashoka leaf powder,

syzygium cumini, Jute and sun hemp, apple

pomace, almond husk, prosopis spicegera, ratrani

leaf powder, jute stick, cashew nut shells, cassia

siamea, coconut husk, feathers, hairs, bagasse

etc.9

.Agricultural materials particularly those

containing cellulose shows potential metal

biosorption capacity.
