Rapid industrialization has caused to the release of an alarming amount of toxic heavy metals into the environment endangering natural ecosystem and human health. This in turn would affect the ecological balance. The removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions is an important issue faced by the dyeing industries discharging wastewater containing heavy metals. Several processes such as ion exchange resins, electrochemical process, chemical precipitation and activated carbon have been widely used in the processes of wastewater purification. This project aims to bring an eco-friendly solution for the heavy metal pollution. The dyeing industry sample was collected and the heavy metal pollutants were identified and the appropriate biomass is selected to be used as a biosorbent to remove the heavy metal trace. The biosorption technique has been presented as a promising alternative to solve the problem of contamination by heavy metals with low environmental and economic impact. The recommendations of this project would be of great help for the dyeing industries to follow the standards provided by Central Pollution Control Board of India (CPCB) with less expense and with high efficiency.
