  • Abstract:
  • Water contamination is a critical global issue, contributing to thousands of deaths and widespread diseases. Aquatic pollution, or environmental degradation caused by the massive influx of pollutants into water systems, has significantly diminished water quality. The introduction of harmful chemicals from various sources has compromised the integrity of these water resources. As a result, the entire ecosystem is at risk, with detrimental effects on both plant and animal life. Polluted water not only disrupts aquatic environments but also threatens the broader biosphere. So to resolve this problem agro waste material has been used in this study. Activated carbon was prepared from seeds of Azadirachta indica. Physical activation was done for preparation of activated carbon. Characterisation of activated carbon carried out by FTIR and FESEM. Highly porous structure of activated carbon responsible for the adsorption of pollutant from aqueous solution. Batch experiment was conducted for studying the effect of various parameters on the adsorption of metformine.
