Pollution with heavy metal ions lead, zinc and nickel resulting from industrial wastewater for various industries such as electroplating industry, batteries, metal refining mines and other factories which discharge into the environment causing damage and pollution to the environment, living organisms, and the majority of heavy metals carcinogenic due to its high toxicity and its containment of dangerous chemicals. Potential danger to human health in all forms by ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact pose by heavy metals ions such as lead, nickel, zinc, and others. To prevent hazards, they must be removed before disposal by different methods such as ion- exchange, chemical separation, filtration, membrane separation, and adsorption. The purpose of this research is to review different low cost adsorbent materials to remove heavy metal ions lead, zinc and nickel from wastewater.
