Abstract

Because heavy metal pollution has a negative influence on ecosystems and human health, removing it from industrial effluent is a critical environmental concern. Treatment of heavy metal-contaminated wastewater at the Bhangadh Water Treatment Plant in Indore is extremely difficult and requires sophisticated remediation methods. The unique structure and adsorption capabilities of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) have made them stand out among the others as promising agents for the removal of heavy metals. Lead, cadmium, chromium, and nickel are among the heavy elements that this study looks at how well MWCNTs remove from wastewater at the Bhangadh Water Treatment Plant. MWCNTs are perfect for wastewater treatment because of their many benefits, including a large surface area, variable fictionalizations, and strong adsorption capability. The research holds great importance as it has the potential to improve environmentally friendly and economically viable methods of managing wastewater that contain heavy metal pollution. Through an investigation of MWCNTs' adsorption mechanisms and effectiveness in actual wastewater settings, this work provides insightful information for enhancing water treatment procedures and mitigating environmental hazards related to heavy metal pollution. In this study, lead abortion from wastewater is observed.
