Water plays a key role in diluting pollutants and because of that superiority as a solvent, it also implies that water-soluble wastes pollute water easily. The most significant environmental pollutants and those with the greatest economic value for industrial use are heavy metals. Due to the negative effects all over the world, heavy metal environmental pollution is a growing issue and a source of great concern. Aqueous solutions containing these heavy metals were prepared in the current study with the intention of removing specific heavy metals, such as zinc and cobalt, due to their recalcitrant nature. The current research focuses on the Adsorption of these heavy metals on natural sources such as maize cob and banana peel and examines the physicochemical parameters (initial concentration, temperature, and absorption capacity) involved in the optimization of this adsorption. Additionally, it aims to generate biofuel like alcohol from the waste generated post-treatment.
