Abstract :

    This article is review on recent studies on removal of different pollutions by low cost adsorbents that low cost and abundant available adsorbents such as chitosan, zeolite, plant residue and other adsorbents with high adsorption ability and abundant availability are used instead of commercial activated carbon.
