<p>Removal of Heavy Metals From waste-water<br>● Spearheaded a research project to assess the applicability of a novel indigenous adsorbent, chitosan, for the <br>efficient removal of heavy metals like copper and zinc from wastewater.  <br>● Investigated the impact of key process parameters, including pH, adsorbent dosage, temperature, contact time, <br>and initial metal ion concentration, operating them at moderate levels to analyse their influence on heavy <br>metal removal efficiencies. <br>● Conducted kinetic studies on adsorption processes, demonstrating that the adsorption mechanism adhered to <br>a pseudo-second-order model for both copper and zinc metals&nbsp;</p>
