In present time, as the human population is rising to the extremities, there is also an increase in the amount of supplies which is causing the industries to produce the respective products in a large scale. This is causing a huge amount of waste being generated from these industries into our water bodies causing water pollution [1]. Hence, there is a need to remove this waste from our water bodies. Among the various pollutants emitted out from the industries; acids are one of such pollutants being generated by the industries. These are water soluble and colorless in nature and hence get unnoticed but causes a negative impact on our environment. The method of removal of acids is by the Biosorption [2] of Custard apple (Anonna squamosa) leaves as they are easily available and cost effective. The concentration of the acids is being determined using simple neutralization titrations. The Custard apple leaves used here as a biosorbent are found to be effective in the removal of acids at room temperature. The experimental data is verified by the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms.
