Adsorption of wastewater onto vetiver grass based adsorbents from aqueous solutions was studied to enable comparison with alternative commonly available absorbents. Batch experiments were conducted to determine the effect of method of treatment of vetiver grass on adsorption. Vetiver grass, which is a relatively abundant and inexpensive material, is currently being investigated as an adsorbent for the removal of various pollutants from wastewaters. Various pollutants, such as dyes, phenols, organic compounds, pesticides, inorganic anions, and heavy metals can be removed very effectively with vetiver grass as an adsorbent. This thesis presents a brief review on the role of vetiver grass and vetiver grass ash in the removal of various pollutants from wastewater. Studies on the adsorption of various pollutants by vetiver grass materials are reviewed and the adsorption mechanism, influencing factors, favourable conditions, etc., discussed in this article. It is evident from the review that vetiver grass and its ash can be potentially utilized for the removal of various pollutants from water and wastewaters. The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of activated carbon for the reduction of pollutants from municipal wastewater. Wastewater samples were collected from drainage systems near leather complex, Kolkata, West Bengal. Analysis showed that the activated carbons used were significantly different in their efficacy for wastewater treatment. It was observed that by increasing the concentration of activated adsorbent, the removal efficiency of both activated adsorbents increased The vetiver grass based activated carbon was found more efficient After the treatment of municipal wastewater, its quality was found to be appropriate for direct discharge into streams, lakes, rivers. The water could be used for irrigation purpose.
