Abstract

The metal working industries discharge large amounts of heavy metals in their effluents which
possess extreme threats to human and aquatic life. Several processing techniques are available to reduce the
concentration of heavy metal ions which are Chemical precipitation, ion exchange, Activated carbon
adsorption, membrane processing, electrolytic methods, cementation on iron etc. This paper presents review
on heavy metal removal by using neem leaf powder as green adsorbent. Studies carried out by using green
adsorbent indicates that there is a wide scope for the removal `of heavy metals from aqueous solution. The
effectiveness and efficiency of these green adsorbent was observed by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms
equations.
