Evaluating the effectiveness of eggshells to remove heavy metals from wastewater

What is it about?

This experiment is designed to evaluate the factors that influence the adsorption efficiency of eggshells to remove heavy metals particularly, Pb(II), Cu(II), and Zinc(II) from wastewater. Various methods were applied to determine the impact of temperature, size, and quantity of eggshell on the efficiency to remove heavy metal contamination from the wastewater.

Why is it important?

Using of eggshells to clean wastewater will significantly improve the economic benefits and produce less environmental pollution. Finally, it is necessary to note that a complementary study should be conducted to improve the existing results by modifying other parameters related to the eggshell. The effects of extending the current study by varying chicken eggshell adsorbents using acids, bases, or some other bio sorbents should be the subject of future w ork.
