Abstract

    The removal of toxic heavy metal from aqua solution using ceramic residuals as a low-cost sorbent was studied by use of ceramic residuals as non-expensive material in removal of heavy metal Change parameter to get best condition for removal cadmium and lead.In ancient time there are many ways to remove heavy metal from water such as chemical perception, electro-chemical, Ionic ex-change and adsorption among other. However, due to their high cost or difficult applying or non-availability material or added new source of pollution or low efficiency of removal at trace levels. Adoration is seen as low-cost ways and realistic solution. In my study, parameter such as PH, time, size of sorbent used were evaluated for each material ion in order to optimize the sorption uptake condition. The result shows that the metal uptake increased when the ceramic residuals  area exposed also increased. The optimum PH for cadmium and lead was PH 6.0. This is favorable because it is near the PH of most natural water.
