Water is essential to all forms of life and makes up 50-96 % of the weight of all plants and animals. Inrecent years pollution of aquatic environment by heavy metals has increased. The continuous mixing of industrialeffluents containing heavy metals to the natural resources deposits the toxicity in natural water resources. Due to theirpotential toxic effect and ability to bioaccumilate it is very difficult to remove from wastewater stream. The potentialsources of the heavy metals are industries, mining, and agriculture. The most commonly witnessed heavy metals inindustrial wastewater are Arsenic, Lead, Mercury, Cadmium Chromium, Copper, Nickel, and Zinc. Despite of use ofsuitable conventional chemical treatment processes for the removal of heavy metals, the effluent after treatment containtoo high concentration of heavy metals. In order to trouble shoot the problems of conventional chemical treatmentvarious bio sorbents such as eggshells, microalgae and banana peels can be adopted as supplement to conventionaltreatment.
