STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Human activities have led to immense pollution of our environment especially the water bodies. This is as a result of the discharge of inorganic effluents from industries directly into the environment without treatment due to the high cost of establishing or maintaining the effluent treatment plant. These effluents enter the food chain when the aquatic organisms in the water bodies adsorb/absorb them and they are then eaten by human being thereby causing several diseases such as high blood pressure and heart attack. So finding simple and cheap ways of treating these effluents using modified adsorbents from low cost agro-wastes before discharging them into the water bodies forms the purpose of this study. Adsorption which is a phase transfer process has been proved to be one of the best processes in waste management. As a result this study sought to modify some cheap agro-wastes and use them to adsorb the inorganic wastes from industrial effluents before they are discharged into the environment.
