Rapid industrialization and technological development enhance the concentration of heavy metal poisoning posing a significant threat to the environment and public health because of their toxicity, accumulation in the food chain and persistence in nature. Industrial wastes constitute the major source of various kind of metal pollution in natural water. Heavy metal ions are reported as priority pollutants owing to their mobility in natural water ecosystem and their toxicity. The heavy metals are stable and persistent environmental contaminants. Since they cannot be degraded and destroyed. These metal ions are harmful to aquatic life and water contaminated by toxic metal ions remain a serious health problem. Heavy metal removal from aqueous solution has been traditionally carried out by chemical precipitation. The presence of copper, zinc, cadmium, lead, mercury, iron, nickel and other metals have potentially damaging effect on human physiology and other biological system when the tolerance level are exceeded.
