SYNTHESIS OF SULFACBIONITE BASED ON PYROLYTIC OIL FOR THE REMOVAL OF TOXIC AND HEAVY METALS FROM WASTEWATER

Abstract

The increasing contamination of water resources with toxic and heavy metals is a significant environmental concern globally. Industrial processes, agricultural runoff, and urban wastewater contribute heavily to the release of pollutants, particularly heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, into water bodies. These pollutants pose severe risks to human health, aquatic life, and the overall ecosystem.Conventional methods of water treatment, such as chemical precipitation, filtration, and ion exchange, often face limitations in terms of cost, efficiency, and environmental impact.
