This paper reports the removal of a basic dye (rhodamine-B) by the activated carbon prepared from Parthenium biomass by sulphuric acid treatment method (SWC). The effectiveness of the prepared adsorbent has been studied as a function of agitation time, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration and

Biosorption experiments were performed using different pretreated activated sludge as bioadsorbent for Cu2+, Cd and Ni2+. Pretreatment with NaOH was found to improve the adsorption capacity of the sludge where as treatment with HCl reduces it. The treated and untreated sludge show great affinity tow
