  • Abstract:
  • Heavy metal contamination in wastewater, particularly copper, threatens ecosystems and human health, necessitating sustainable and biosafe treatment solutions. This study evaluates low-cost, eco-friendly adsorbents—chalk powder, eggshells, and coconut husk—for copper removal, emphasizing biosafety by minimizing secondary pollution and utilizing waste materials. Experiments under alkaline conditions revealed that chalk powder significantly reduced copper concentrations, demonstrating its potential as a safer alternative to conventional methods like activated carbon. Partial results indicate that these adsorbents effectively lower copper levels while avoiding toxic byproducts, aligning with biosafety and circular economy principles. The findings highlight the promise of such materials for small-scale industrial applications, offering a balance between efficacy, affordability, and environmental safety.
