  • Abstract:
  • The global population is on the rise, particularly in urbanizing regions, with developing countries projected to witness a surge of over 2.1 billion people in cities by 2030. Simultaneously, industrial activities continue to contaminate surface water. Agricultural applications have repurposed waste from rose petals to boost production in the presence of heavy metal stress. In response to effluents from industries such as Tannery, Textile, Electroplating, etc., there is a growing need for a cost-efficient and efficient alternative adsorbent for chromium and copper removal from wastewater. This study investigates the utilization of rose petals as an adsorbent for the removal of chromium and copper from wastewater. Through batch experiments, we assess the adsorption efficiency of rose petals, considering factors such as pH, contact time, and initial metal concentration. The results reveal promising adsorption capacities, indicating the potential of rose petals as a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative for heavy metal removal. Furthermore, the study explores the practical applicability of rose petals in real wastewater scenarios. The findings contribute valuable insights into sustainable water treatment methods, showcasing the viability of using natural materials like rose petals for mitigating the environmental impact of heavy metal pollution in water bodies.
