Article Synopsis
- Water contamination is a major global issue that requires effective treatment methods to maintain a clean environment and reduce competition for resources.
- Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are becoming popular for water treatment due to their small size and large surface area, improving the removal of pollutants.
- However, the use of these nanoparticles comes with significant risks, including potential toxicity, raising concerns about their long-term effects and future challenges in water purification technologies.
In the present study a novel biomass, derived from the pulp of Saccharum bengalense, was used as an adsorbent material for the removal of Pb (II) ions from aqueous solution. After 50 minutes contact time, almost 92% lead removal was possible at pH 6.0 under batch test conditions.

Biomaterial SB composed of cellulose macromolecules and was used without any chemical treatment. Batch experiments were performed by considering the effect of contact time, SB concentration, pH of the solution and temperature.
