Popis: Bagasse Fly Ash (BFA) is a rejected material of bagasse that is produced in the sugar industry after burning as a fuel. After this discovery, it is used as a cheap, effective and more reliable adsorbent with the highest elimination rate than activated carbon for various harmful heavy metals and pesticides at different factors like pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, adsorbate concentration, temperature, particle size by Batch and column studies. Pesticides and heavy metals have more adverse effects on human health as well as on the water bodies organisms like many systems as reproduction, urinary, neurological, circulatory, digestive, soil fertility fluctuations as acidity and basicity. Various techniques were utilized for the elimination of heavy metals and pesticides in the past with high expenses as well as difficult to manage. But in future, this review may help in new efficient adsorbent with high removal ability at a low price as well as easy to use than others adsorbents for the elimination of harmful heavy metals and pesticides from wastewater.
