The growing concern over water pollution caused by industrial effluents necessitates the development of effective remediation strategies. This study investigates a cost-effective and eco-friendly method for the removal of lead ions from wastewater using the biomaterial Tridax procumbens, a medicinal plant. A systematic methodology was employed to evaluate the bioadsorption capacity of the material at an operational pH of 6.0. The optimum dosage of the bioadsorbent was determined to be 6.0 g, which achieved a remarkable removal efficiency of 100% for Pb(II) ions. The analysis further established an optimum contact time of 200 minutes for maximum lead ions absorption. Results indicate that activated carbon derived from the bioadsorbent enhances removal efficiency significantly. This innovative approach to lead removal not only provides a sustainable alternative to conventional treatment methods, which are often costly, but also contributes to environmental protection by utilizing a renewable resource. The findings underscore the potential of using natural materials in industrial wastewater treatment processes to mitigate heavy metal contamination. This research paves the way for further exploration of similar bioremediation strategies in managing industrial pollutants.
