In India, Industrial growth has resulted towards the release of numerous contaminated heavy metals into the environment, Various industries directly discharged the effluents containing harmful pollutants such as toxic heavy metals into the aqueous medium. There are numbers of treatment methods available to remove toxic elements from effluents before disposal. Several research investigations have been conducted to determine the capacity of unconventional absorbents to remove various wastewater impurities. Bio-sorption technique uses agricultural and natural left-over materials as adsorbents since they remain considerably less expensive, supportable, and available than traditional effluent treatment technologies. This study concentrates removal efficiency of orange peels (OP), rice husk (RH) and sugarcane bagasse (SCB) from the industrial effluents. Adsorption studies have been conducted for OP, RH and SCB with differing dose, pH, and contact duration, determined to be appropriate and leading to the highest levels of removal effectiveness. At 1.00 gm dosage, the maximum % removal efficiency of Cu, Cr, Ni, Cd and Zn removal for OP, RH and SCB were 84.90%, 90.45%, 86.21%, 98.00% and 74.11% respectively by using OP, RH and SCB the max. percentage removal efficiency of Cu, Cr, Ni, Cd and Zn for OP, RH were 82.81%, 76.80%, 76.16%, 78.46%, 78.59% at a pH value of 5, 6, 5, 7 and 7 respectively. The max. percentage removal efficiency of Cu, Cr, Ni, Cd and Zn using OP, RH and SCB were 93.45%, 93.05%,77.66%, 94.62%, 85.10% at the contact time of 120, 60, 120, 60 and 80 minutes respectively.
